Please consider filling out an Application for Educational Benefits. While meals are free for all families this school year, the information from these forms has a DIRECT impact on school funding. What this means is that with fewer people completing the form, the school will actually receive less funding in the coming years. This could result in cuts to programs offered to students, teachers unable to qualify for grants, staffing reductions, or the district having to make other difficult budget decisions.
