As a reminder, it's the time of year that we ask families to fill out the Impact Aid Survey.
it is important the district receives one completed form for every student - whether or not their parents/guardians live or work on federal property - because each completed form generates revenue for the district.
Completing the form is easy! Simply complete the form included in this ParentSquare post.
The first 2 classes at each grade level to reach a 100% return rate will receive a special treat sponsored by our school’s PTA!
Surveys are due by November 19, 2025. If you have questions, please contact your child's school directly.
About Impact Aid
Impact Aid funding, just like local levy funds, helps to provide important funding for teachers, support staff, classroom computers, library books and other supplies, equipment, and transportation to SHSD schools.
As a military community, SHSD schools receive annual Impact Aid grants from the Federal Department of Education, which contribute to enriching the educational opportunities of all our students. The amount we receive is based on how many of our school-aged population have parents/guardians who work or live on federal properties such as Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) or the VA Hospital at American Lake.
Dear Families,
We wanted to let you know that our school will be conducting a lockdown drill tomorrow as part of our regular safety procedures. This is only a drill—there is no cause for concern.
These drills are an important part of our safety planning and help ensure that students and staff know what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency. We encourage you to talk with your child about the drill and remind them that the purpose is to practice staying calm, following directions, and keeping everyone safe.
