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
As we approach the season of giving, our school community is coming together to support families in need through a Thanksgiving Food Drive. From November 12th to November 20th, we will be collecting non-perishable food items that will be donated to local families to help make their holiday meals special.
Suggested donation items include:
- Stuffing (box or bag)
- Canned vegetables
- Canned or jarred gravy
- Small bags of rice
- Small bags of red dried beans
- Mac and cheese boxes
We encourage each family to contribute if they are able. Every donation makes a difference in bringing joy and comfort to others during this time of gratitude. Collection boxes will be available outside the front office.
