Federal Impact Aid Form

“The Federal Impact Aid Survey is back again! Impact Aid is a federal program designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students. Federally connected students are children of active duty uniformed services personnel, children who live on federal property, and children whose parents work on federal property. We need your assistance in identifying students with federal connections. This year bright green paper forms will be sent home with your child. The survey can be completed in 5 minutes or less and must be completed for each of your students. We encourage all families to complete it as soon as possible to ensure we have accurate data before the closing date.

Spring Valley students received this form on November 27th during 3rd period. We are asking them to return the forms to their teacher or the Main Office by December 5th.
