On Tuesday, October 19, your student will receive a Student-Parent Survey to bring home for you to complete and return to Lake Anne ES. Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants 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 boxes in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by October 26. All results are CONFIDENTIAL.
