Aurora Public Schools will be applying for IMPACT Aid funding from the Department of Education and the Department of Defense for the 20145-15 school year.

Letters have been mailed home to parents who are a Military Family and/or Civilian Employed on Federal Property. We are urging all of our families who fit this criteria to please fill out the surveys as soon as possible. All surveys are due back to the district by October 25th.
