You can fill out the one form to request screening. You don't have to do the questionnaire or the work samples. You can make it as much or as little work as you feel is needed.
It is added work and that is one reason the Auditors suggested removing parent referrals as an option. There is a massive discrepancy in who chooses to refer and who does not. part of that is due to lack of knowledge of the program and the referral process requiring some extra work that not every parent is capable of completing. As such, the referral program is over used by higher income families and barely used by lower income families.
It's been a weird couple years and I'm not sure teachers fully know the kids.
Sometimes parents see things that teachers don't. That's probably why they tell everyone to submit.

Everything is a big secret for FCPS including SOL scores.

That seems so backwards in thinking. You potentially have parents preparing referrals that may not if they knew the score, esp since many kids missed the NNAT last year. Presumably, it could make the task easier -- your kid in either in pool or not.

That's so odd. I don't understand the reasoning behind this?
Parents go nuts over these scores. They want to avoid too many questions and complaints before the AAP packets are turned in.
Sounds crazy but schools have been dealing with AAP madness for years. They know how to control the situation. My child she is they have the scores but won’t release them until it’s pretty close to the application deadline.

Our assistant principal told parents to parent refer without the score in mind. This was in mid-October, but they said they did not anticipate scores being releases until mid-December or just before the winter break.
So... If other parents are receiving it at other schools, I would love to know if our school is holding them back unnecessarily (not sure they are, but clearly one school has released them). Keep posting if you receive them. Thanks.

It's a little weird that OP is the only parent from Island Creek on DCUM. There's no other confirmation from Island Creek parents.
