November 8 - News and Notes!
Rolling Valley Families,
Wow! What a quick week! We wrapped it up with a heartfelt Veterans Day assembly to honor the brave men and women who currently serve and who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces. Thank you all for your dedication and sacrifices.
We enjoyed some spring-like temperatures this week and are taking full advantage before the colder weather sets in! We’ve reached out to all families regarding early release this Monday. If you have questions or didn’t receive the email, please feel free to contact me at vdelbagno@fcps.edu.
As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. Have a safe and enjoyable long weekend!

Impact Aid Survey
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, we 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.
Upcoming Dates
Veterans Day
