Federal Impact Aid Survey is Coming Soon
The Impact Aid Program is a federal grant program designed to directly compensate local school districts that have been financially impacted by federal activities. The program's mission is to reimburse local school districts for local revenues lost due to the presence of federally owned and therefore tax exempt property.
Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid forms will be sent home before the end of October. Please be on the lookout for this important form to be sent home with all students.
The deadline to return the completed form is Friday, November 5th.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) commits to supporting all students’ mental wellness and social and emotional learning (SEL). All schools will be conducting an SEL Screener in October.

More information, including a short video about the SEL screener in FCPS and the screener questions, can be found on the SEL Screener webpage ).

Please consider joining us on that day to expose our students to all the different careers that are out there!
