Dear Sleepy Hollow Families,
We are excited about the wonderful learning taking place at SHES! Our students are currently completing beginning-of-year assessments, which will provide teachers with valuable information about your child’s academic strengths and areas for growth. This information will help teachers plan targeted small-group instruction, remediation, and enrichment opportunities to support every student’s success.
Please remember that your child’s teacher is your first point of contact regarding academic progress. I encourage you to maintain open and ongoing communication with your child’s teacher so that we can work together to support your child’s learning and development.
We also invite you to join us for the SHES PTA Car Wash this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing our families and enjoying this fun community event together!
With appreciation,
Principal Vega
Sleepy Hollow Elementary School
AAP Referral Window for New Families

Fall Full-Time AAP Referral Window for Students New to FCPS Closes on October 15
The Advanced Academic Program (AAP) fall referral window is only for students in Grades 3 to 8 who are new to FCPS since January 1, 2026. Parents and guardians who would like their student to be considered for Full-Time AAP services must submit the Full-Time AAP Referral Form to Ms. Carmen Andersen, Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, at NCAndersen@fcps.edu by Thursday, October 15. Late referrals will not be accepted.
For students who are not new to FCPS, the spring Full-Time AAP identification window is open to students in Grades 2 to 7. Families interested in referring their student for consideration during the spring window must submit a referral by Tuesday, December 15.
Once a referral is received, our school will compile information related to the student. Then, a committee of trained professionals from across the county will review materials to determine eligibility for Full-Time AAP services.
Other Advanced Academic Services
At the elementary level, all students are screened each spring for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP services. Families may also refer their student for consideration for Subject-Specific or Part-Time AAP at any time during the school year. Eligibility decisions are made at the school level, and families are notified of the decision within 30 school days of the referral. The Full-Time AAP referral deadlines do not apply.
At the middle school level, honors courses are open to all students.
For more information, please contact Ms. Carmen Andersen, Advanced Academic Resource Teacher, at NCAndersen@fcps.edu or visit the Advanced Academic Programs webpage.

Una vez que recibamos el formulario de referencia, la escuela reunirá información sobre el estudiante.

Otros servicios del Programa Académico Avanzado
En la escuela primaria, todos los estudiantes son evaluados cada primavera para determinar si cumplen con los requisitos para recibir servicios de AAP por materia específica y AAP de Tiempo Parcial. Las familias también pueden referir a su estudiante para estos servicios en cualquier momento durante el año escolar.
La escuela toma las decisiones sobre la elegibilidad. Las familias recibirán una notificación dentro de los 30 días escolares después de enviar el formulario de referencia. Las fechas límite para los formularios de referencia del AAP de Tiempo Completo no se aplican a estos servicios.
En la escuela intermedia, todos los estudiantes pueden tomar cursos de honores. Recomendamos que las familias trabajen con la escuela para elegir los cursos que mejor respondan a las necesidades académicas de su estudiante.
