Update on Federal Impact Aid Survey

We have only received responses from about 40% of our MBHS families.  Parent Participation is critical in securing these funds for our school district.  We are extremely fortunate that the district has extended the deadline to November 17th. 

Did you know…  

• This survey represents $10million dollars in federal funding for the district and is available to us (but only) with your support in completing this task.

• The information collected is kept confidential and will provide federal funds 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.

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. (in the mobile app, click on the 3 dots in the lower right corner)

• Follow the prompts and submit the form. Please be sure a confirmation appears before logging off.

• Visit the SDUSD support website for more information.

We appreciate your efforts in completing this task as it supports Mission Bay High School programs and provides opportunities for all students.
