Our schools are heavily impacted with federally-connected students – those parents/guardians who work on federal property in Maryland, live on federal property in Maryland, and/or are active duty military personnel. Because of this impact, we receive federal grant funds to operate and maintain our schools and enrich school programs. To receive these funds, the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) requires us to survey each student to determine eligibility.

SMCPS is encouraging all parents/guardians to please take the time to access and complete the Impact Aid Survey Form online, located in the Home Access Center (HAC). Once logged in, directions to access the online form can be found HERE. A video with instructions is available HERE. The form can now be accessed in Spanish by clicking on the Globe in the top right-hand corner once the form has been started. The deadline for the online submission of Impact Aid Program Survey forms is November 14, 2022.

School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) are a partnership between St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) and St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS). The centers assist families with meeting the healthcare needs of students to include treatment of acute illness, management of chronic conditions, health education and promotion. If you are interested in additional information visit the SMCHD website.
