Impact Aid
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets (in the upper right corner after logging in). Please complete it as soon as possible.
For any families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE, schools will provide paper forms starting Wednesday, November 13. Paper forms should be returned by Wednesday, December 4.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. 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
For more information, please watch this video on Impact Aid and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.

SCA Fundraiser for Hurricanes Milton and Helene
The Deer Park Student Council Association (SCA) is holding a penny drive to help the people affected by the destruction of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our penny drive will last from Monday, 10/21/2024, and end on Thursday, 11/07/2024. Penny drives aim to collect funds donated in small amounts (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and small dollar bills), and donate them to a worthy cause; we are aiming to make a big difference with small coin amounts, but will always take any donation the school community members would like to make!
All donations will be given to the American Red Cross' Hurricanes Milton & Helene Fund. If you wish to donate on your own, you can use this link to do so. If you choose to do so, please let us know by emailing Ms. Arzt and Mr. Wallace, and we will add it to your school's total.
Stay tuned for some exciting reward details.
