Instructions on How to Complete the Form in ParentSquare
(You must be a parent/guardian and logged into your ParentSquare account to complete the form.)
The Federal Impact Aid Program Survey will be sent to parents/guardians through ParentSquare on October 21, 2024. Only one parent/guardian needs to complete the information and a survey for each student is required. This information is vital because it determines how much Impact Aid funding North Mason Schools receives from the federal government.
The Federal Impact Aid Law was passed to help make up for lost tax revenue to local districts due to non-taxable federal property in their boundaries. The amount of Impact Aid we receive is determined by the actual number of our students with parents who live or work at PSNS, Bangor, or other federal property, including Native American lands. About a third of our students meet these criteria. To qualify for funding, we need a completed survey for every student attending our district.
Without these funds, we could not offer many of the programs, opportunities, and services that we do for our students.
Impact Aid Survey Forms are now distributed to families via our communication platform, ParentSquare. You must be logged in and connected to North Mason Schools in ParentSquare to complete the form. Paper copies are available at conferences and will be sent home. Please view the frequently asked questions and directions below for completing the form.
