Beginning October 18, 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 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 box in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by November 4. All responses are confidential.
Check your students' Tuesday Folder on 10/18/22!

For the last couple of years we have asked the community to upload photos to add to our Yearbook. We received LOTS of submissions! While we can’t use every photo in the yearbook, we would love to offer the opportunity for our families to submit photos again. Our yearbook theme this year is “FHES Illuminates."
Please upload images to our Yearbook Snap shot. Access Code: flinthill23 In order to collect photos, we ask that they are either camera images or cell phone photos without the Live feature attached. If you upload photos and the ending is .HEIC instead of .JPG we are unable to use them in the yearbook. We look forward to seeing everyone’s photo in the yearbook this year.
Remember to Pre-Order your Yearbook! You wouldn’t want to miss out.

We are looking to spotlight diversity at Flint Hill Elementary in our new Diversity Showcase in the main foyer. Every month, our diversity calendar will be updated with the cultural observances and celebrations pertaining to that month. We are calling all families to submit photos that show you celebrating your holidays, traditions, and heritage throughout the year to be featured inside of our showcase.
Please send all photo submissions to jradin@fcps.edu with the subject line “Diversity Photos." Please also provide a short caption of each submission so we are sure to feature your photo in the correct month. We look forward to seeing and celebrating our differences at Flint Hill! Stop by the showcase each month to learn about other cultural traditions!
