POSITIVITY PROJECT
WEEK 6: INTEGRITY
Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is
watching. Integrity includes being honest, authentic and having the
courage to follow your beliefs.
NEWS
STUDENT-PARENT
SURVEY FOR FEDERAL IMPACT AID
Beginning
on October 16th, FCPS will be asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent
Survey for Federal Impact Aid.
Returning
this form is important because information from this survey results in an
anticipated $3 million dollars in grant funds each year from the U.S.
Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County
public schools and centers.
For
each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and
return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do
not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3. All forms must be
signed, dated, and returned by October 26. All results are CONFIDENTIAL.
Learn
more by watching this short video featuring
Superintendent Scott Brabrand and the U.S. Army Garrison Commander COL Michael
Greenberg from Fort Belvoir.
