IMPORTANT TASK FOR ALL FAMILIES!
Dear Families,
It’s that time of year again—Impact Aid Survey time! Beginning October 1, the annual Impact Aid Survey will be available to complete. Please take a moment to complete this form as soon as possible!
Link with directions: How to Complete the Impact Aid Program Survey
Why does it matter? Impact Aid brings important federal funding into our schools, helping support the programs, services, and resources our students use every day. And here’s the really important part: we need EVERY family to respond!
Even if you are not active-duty military and even if you do not work on federal property, please don’t skip the survey. We still need you to answer the questions so we can account for every student and ensure our information is complete and accurate.
It’s quick, it’s easy, and your response truly helps!
Every survey counts—and every response helps support our schools and students.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to help us bring valuable funding back to our district!
OurGEMS will be on Discovery's campus October 27, 2026 for our first meeting of the year with interested students.
