We are so happy to have all of our wonderful students and families back for the new school year. Welcome to all the students and families that are new to Hancock!! We love having you all here!! Please read through this whole newsletter as we have a lot of important information that will need some attention, including the following:

• Parent pick-up/drop off rules and regulations
• Free/Reduced lunch information
• Parent Portal information
• Transporation registration information
• Student Handbook Signature page
• PTO Information and upcoming fundraisers/frozen Fridays and Dine-out Nights
• 24-25 School year calendar

Children need healthy and nutritious meals to learn and grow. CUSD Nutrition offers healthy meals every school day. The Free and Reduced Lunch Program provides students from eligible families with free or reduced meals at school.

Benefits:

• School Meals - Free or Reduced prices on delicious and nutritious meals
• P-EBT – Eligibility to receive Pandemic EBT

• Academic Tests – Reduced registration Fees for AP, SAT, and/or ACT tests
• Internet Access – Eligible for discounted rates on internet services
• Athletics – Free or discounted fees to participate in most sports

Your child/children may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals if:

• All children in households receiving benefits from SNAP/TANF, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) or FDPIR, are eligible for free meals.
• Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals.
• Children participating in their school's Head Start program are eligible for free meals.
• Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant are eligible for free meals.
• Children may receive free or reduced price meals if your household's income is within the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Your children may qualify for free or reduced price meals if your household income falls at or below the limits.
• Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Please send in an application.
• If your child doesn’t qualify at this time, you may still apply later on if your situation changes later in the school year. For example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.
• If you are unsure if your child qualifies, fill out the application anyway.

Every year, families that need transportation, must register in order to be assigned a bus. You MUST log into your parent portal account and request bus transportation. Click the link below for information on how to register for a bus.
