Federal Impact Aid Survey
Please check your child's Thursday folder today for the pre-printed Federal Impact Aid Survey and return it to your child's teacher as soon as possible.
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.
Available electronically now!
The form is available online for the enrolling parent to complete. Once logged into SIS ParentVue, click "online packets" in the top right corner, then select "Federal Impact Aid Survey". Step by step help here!
Thank you for your support.

Bookworm Central Book Fair
November 13-17
The Bookworm Central Book Fair will take place in the library November 13-17! Monday and Tuesday will be preview days only where students will come with their teacher to preview the books and create a wish list of books they would like to purchase. Wednesday through Friday books will be available for sale; teachers will have a set time for students to visit the library to purchase books. Parents may shop the book fair any time it is open Wednesday-Friday.
Can’t make it to the book fair and don’t want to send your child to school with cash or a credit card? Try using the eWallet feature! You can set a maximum amount for your child to spend at the book fair and your credit card will be charged for only the amount your child spends, without going over the maximum amount you determine! Just remember to PRINT OUT a copy of the eWallet for your child to bring to the book fair. Watch this short video for simple directions on how to set up an eWallet account: How to set up eWallet?
