Dear Olde Creek Families,
We're excited to announce the unveiling of our school's new Vision and Mission statements. These statements reflect the shared values and aspirations of our school community, and they will guide our efforts to provide a high-quality education for all students.
The development of these statements has been a collaborative process involving input from teachers, staff, students, and parents. Together, we've worked to create a vision that inspires and a mission that drives our actions.
We are also excited to invite you to the Olde Creek PTA Halloween Howl tonight at 5:30 PM. This is a fun-filled event for the whole family, featuring games, costumes, trunk or treating & dancing. Please remember that this is not a drop-off event; all students must be supervised by an adult.
As a reminder, please mark your calendars for the upcoming student holidays.
Sincerely,
Courtney Korb, Principal
Alison Butler, Assistant Principal
Stephanie Kaminsky, Assistant Principal

Federal Impact Aid Forms
Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available online in SIS ParentVUE. If you have not already filled out the form online, we will provide paper forms in November. Please be sure to return them by Friday, November 17.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important, because information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
Please watch this video and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page for more information.

Learn how to activate your SIS ParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey.
Technical support for using ParentVUE or completing the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and type Federal Impact Aid Survey under Issue Description. Or, call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).
