The federal presence in our area and the significant tax exemptions available to federally connected personnel, businesses, and agencies has permitted Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) to be eligible for federal Impact Aid grants.

Impact Aid programs and grants are designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students. The grants from these programs will become a part of FCPS' general operating budget and are critical to ensuring that all children in FCPS receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving about $3,000,000 annually in Impact Aid funds.

FCPS uses the Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students and to support our request for Impact Aid resources. On Thursday, October 16, 2018, the survey was sent home to Sangster ES Students in the Thursday Folder.  Parents, you should have received one form for each school-aged child in your household.  

Please complete, sign, date, and return the survey(s) to Sangster ES by October 26. 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. FCPS staff will process the information with the utmost confidentiality. To ensure complete accuracy, please use the pre-filled survey that was sent home with your child.
