KISD Families—We Need Your Help! Impact Aid forms will go home with students on Monday, September 29, 2025. Please review, sign, and return the form back as soon as possible.

Each year, the Impact Aid Parent-Pupil Survey helps KISD secure federal funds that directly support our students and schools.

If you are federally-connected OR a civilian working on Fort Hood or another federal property (like the VA in Temple), your participation counts!

Every returned form makes a difference and helps KISD receive the funding our schools deserve.

Paper surveys will go home with students Monday, Sept. 29, 2025.

Please review, sign, and return right away.
