Thank you so much to all of the families who were able to make it to Community Night last Thursday! We loved coming together to celebrate the people who make Bush Hill such a special community to be part of! I loved trying all of the different foods that are special to our families. We literally were sharing food from around the world! A huge thank you to the staff who made this event a success – and to all of our families for supporting their efforts.

Students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Friday, October 28! Costumes should be school appropriate and meet the following guidelines:
- No masks
- No weapons
- No face paint
We need to be able to see student's faces and students should be able to run at recess and PE.
Quarter End—Early Dismissal and Teacher Work Day
As a reminder, Friday, October 28, is the last day of the first quarter, and a two-hour early release for students. Also, schools are closed for students on Monday, October 31, for a teacher workday. See the complete 2022-23 School Year Calendar.
Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid
FCPS is 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. Watch this video to learn more.
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.
