Federal Impact Aid Survey
Dear Dana Families,
I am reaching out to ask every family to complete a very short questionnaire for each of their students. Your responses will increase funding opportunities for San Diego Unified students.
The information is collected to support Federal Impact Aid funding and is kept confidential. Impact Aid funds are designated to assist school districts that enroll federally-connected students. This includes children of active duty uniformed services personnel, children who live on federal property or in subsidized federal housing, and children whose parents are employed on eligible federal property.
Impact Aid funds become part of the district's general operating budget and support instructional activities for all students.
At your next opportunity, we ask you to please sign-in to the Parent Portal in PowerSchool and complete the short survey, following the steps below:
- Select Forms from the left-hand navigation menu, then select 2023-24 Impact Aid Program Survey Form.
- Follow the prompts and submit the form. Please be sure a confirmation appears before logging off.
- If you need assistance, or do not yet have a Parent Portal account, please contact Pedro Calleros, [email protected]. Visit our support website for more information.
- For parents using the PowerSchool mobile app, you can submit the survey using the app.
Students will also receive a paper survey to bring home. Families may choose to complete either the electronic or paper survey. Please complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey as soon as possible.
By completing the survey, you will increase the chances of your child’s school receiving more of this valuable funding.
Thank you for your partnership.
Mary Jo Longo, Interim Principal
