Student Rights and Responsibilities form due by Friday, October 29th. If you need another copy of the form, please email our registrar, Katherine Dillard, at kjdillard1@fcps.edu.
Student Parent Federal Survey form due November 5th.
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 were sent home last week with all students. If you have not already done so, please fill out and return. If you need an additional copy of the form, please email kjdillard1@fcps.edu.

PTA distributed treat bags to the staff last Friday. Thank you to all who contributed items. Teachers and staff truly appreciate it! |
 A school bond referendum will be on the general election ballot on Tuesday, November 2. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Early voting is now open and available through October 30. See the Fairfax County early voting website for hours and locations.
A new or renovated school is 40-50% more energy efficient—supporting the School Board’s phased goal for carbon-neutral energy use by 2040.
The building and renovation of schools is not financed through the school system’s operating funds but through bonds. Bonds sales must be approved by voters since they are a future obligation for taxpayers. As long as debt service costs do not increase significantly as a percentage of combined general fund disbursements, the county's bonded debt is not likely to be a contributing factor to an increase in local taxes.

The School Health Aid, Juliana Rampersad, is currently doing vision and hearing screening on students in grades K,1,3,and 4 and those who are new to county. Normally, FCPS just screens kindergarten and third grade students, but because screening was not done last year, the first and fourth grades will also be screened, as well as any students in other grades that are new to Fairfax County. Parents will be notified if screening results suggest that a doctor should be consulted.
Our Lost and Found is full. If you see anything familiar, please have your child come to the lobby and claim it. Keep in mind that if you are able to label items with your child's name or initials, the office might be able to help reunite the item with the correct student!
