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.
IMPACT AID FORMS - The form is online in SIS ParentVUE to make it easier. You will need a SIS account to access the form.
- Once logged in to SIS ParentVUE, click “Online Packets” in the top right corner.
- Then, select “Federal Impact Aid Survey.”
Learn how to activate your SISParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey.

Storybook Character Parade
Get your costumes ready for the Storybook Character Parade on October 31st starting at 9:30 am. All students are welcomed to participate; however, only ECCB/PAC/Kindergarten -3rd graders will continue the Silverbrook tradition of marching in the parade.
Parade and Costume Guidelines
Costume Guidelines
- Be mindful of the comfort level of your child throughout the school day.
- Do not send any object to school with sharp edges or resembles a weapon (this becomes an SR&R issue).
- Do not send students to school with a costume mask. Students will not wear masks throughout the school day or during the parade. Please be mindful and adhere to this as students will not be allowed to participate in the parade with a mask.
- If students need to dress before the parade, they should be able to dress themselves.
Parade Guidelines
- Students should bring the book that represents the character they are dressed as (if possible)
- Students will walk on their own throughout the parade.
- Students will return to instruction after the parade.
- Parents and guests can line the bus loop as early as 9:20.
- Please remain in your space during the parade, as students will walk on their own.
- Students will return to class and resume instruction after the parade.
Weather permitting, we will have the parade outside in the bus loop, parents are asked to line the route in front of the school, AND our 4-6 grade students will line up near the island. If there is inclement weather, parents will line the parade route around the perimeter inside the gym.
