Congratulations go to our own Elizabeth Rennie-Cline for being named the FCPS October News Liaison of the Month by the Fairfax County Department of Communication and Community Outreach.

The Annual Federal "Impact Aid/Student-Parent" Survey has begun. This survey is conducted annually by FCPS to receive federal grant funds designed to reimburse public school districts to compensate for the loss of tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal property within the school district. Surveys have been printed for all registered Hughes students and all forms must be collected and sent to FCPS IT. Please return the forms ASAP as these forms are time sensetive. For more information, please CLICK HERE.
Please make sure each of the following areas are complete:
-
Parent/guardian signature and date
-
Student name and address
-
Parent employment information
