Hi Parents - If your financial situation has changed during this crisis and you did not qualify earlier, you should apply for free/reduced benefits ASAP. You can receive some additional help from the State and benefits carryover for the first 30 days of the 20-21 school year if you don't fill out an application at enrollment. This is probably not something you are thinking about right now, but it is important that Kristi receive the application right away because they are dated when she receives them and benefits from the State will be based on that date.
Here is a link to the application or you can call Kristi at the Central Office.

We will continue to listen and follow all regulations and guidelines as we move forward with our new date as student and staff safety is our number one priority. We will provide additional details when we have them. Thanks, and stay safe!
Congratulations to our Class of 2020 Governor’s Scholar, Ms. Chloe Burkholder !
