Parents, This year our federally connected survey date is Friday, October 27, 2023. This survey will document the students that are federally connected by having a parent that is on active duty or a civilian employee on federal property. Federal regulations require that we collect this information EVERY YEAR even if you have already completed it in previous years. We have moved this process online via Scribbles instead of sending out the paper survey cards. Due to federal guidelines, we are required to have parents/guardians who are federally connected to complete a survey as of, and not prior to, our survey date which is October 27, 2023. Please login to your Scribbles account and complete the Military Information Update form for each of your PCS students. This will enable us to capture accurate data to submit the Impact Aid Grant. We are asking that this be submitted no later than Friday, November 10, 2023. If you are unsure how to submit the form, please contact your school for assistance. Thank you!
