A Message from our Administrators
Happy Friday Hunt Valley Families,
We had our Veterans Day celebration this morning! We want to thank all the parents and volunteers that came to Hunt Valley to perform or share about the work that they do for our country. Our students and staff enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about our military branches. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those who have served!
Hunt Valley is excited to share that our Purple Star designation has been renewed. This highlights our continued commitment to support and partner with our military connected families.
Next week is another short week and we look forward to seeing our students on Tuesday.
Today is the last day for nominations for outstanding employee awards. Please take a moment to nominate one of our fabulous staff members!
We hope that everyone has a wonderful long weekend.
Sincerely,
Keieownna Hightower, Principal
Chrissy Gibbs, Assistant Principal
Eric Kopacz, Assistant Principal

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.
Need to Register for ParentVUE?
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).
