 Everyone enjoyed the book fair last week! Thank you to Mrs. Dolenc, our librarian, Ms. Bracy, our library assistant, and all of our wonderful volunteers!
Federal Impact Aid Survey: Now Online
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. To make it easier, the form is now available online in SIS ParentVUE.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household 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.
Once logged in to SIS ParentVUE, click “Online Packets” in the top right corner. Then, select “Federal Impact Aid Survey.” The enrolling parent needs to be the person completing the survey. Get more information.
Have questions or need a ParentVue account? Contact Katherine Dillard, Student Information Assistant/Registrar, at Kjdillard1@fcps.edu.
