Federal Impact Aid Survey - October 21st
You will receive a message through ENotify and Parent VUE on Oct 21st, 2024. Please be sure to sign in your SIS ParentVUE account to complete this important survey.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible for federal Impact Aid grants due to the federal presence in our area. The grants from these programs will become part of FCPS' general operating budget. They are critical to ensuring that students receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3,000,000 in Impact Aid funds.
FCPS uses the survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students. On October 21st, the survey will be made available to FCPS families. The survey is available online through ParentVue. Families without ParentVUE can request a paper copy of the survey from their child's school. FCPS staff will process the information with the utmost confidentiality.
Attendance Tip:
🎒Every day in class counts towards success! Consistent attendance is the key to unlocking a world of knowledge for our students. See how you can encourage good attendance in elementary school: https://bit.ly/3TP2gdB
