Important SNAP Updates
SNAP benefits will not be issued in November. To fill the gap, Virginia has started a program called: VENA (Virginia Emergency Nutrition Assistance). There is no application process for VENA. Benefits will be issued weekly only to people approved for SNAP as of Oct. 29, 2025. VENA will be funded on a weekly basis instead of once a month and will be added to existing SNAP EBT cards starting November 3, 2025. To check your balance before you shop, call 1-866-281-2448 and enter the 16 digit number on your card. Basis needs assistance (CSP) call: 703-222-0880 (M-F, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.).

Federal Impact Aid Survey available to complete online
The Federal Impact Aid program provides money to districts that enroll federally connected students. Help FCPS secure funding from the Impact Aid Program by helping us identify:
- Military families.
- Federally connected families.
- Families living on a military base.
Please complete one form for each child in your household. Remember that only the parent that registered the student with FCPS (the ‘enrolling parent’) can fill out the Impact Aid Survey form.
For families without access to ParentVUE, a paper copy of the form will be sent home with your student starting November 12. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.
Your support will ensure that we receive the resources for which we are eligible.
To access the Impact Aid Form from your computer or mobile device, we recommend using Google Chrome.
Step 1: CLICK HERE or type sisparent.fcps.edu into your Chrome address bar to be taken to SIS ParentVUE. If you don’t have a SIS ParentVUE account, contact your child’s school for an activation letter.
Step 2: After you’ve logged into your ParentVue Account, look for the ‘Online Packets’ link at the top of the page. Click ‘Online Packets’.
Step 3: Next, click the ‘Federal Impact Aid Survey’ button on the bottom of the page. This will take you to the Impact Aid Survey for you to complete.
If you have multiple children in Fairfax County Public Schools, please fill out a form for each child. You will know you have completed all of the forms when you get to the final page, and see a green check next to each of their names.
