Get in on our early purchase special, it is the best price of the year!
Florida KidCare
Your child may qualify for low-cost health and dental insurance with Florida KidCare. A healthy student is ultimately a better learner – and with such a strong connection between health and academic performance, it’s important to know which health care options are available for your children before they head back to school.
More than half of the children in our state living without health and dental insurance may be eligible for low-cost health and dental insurance – even if one or both parents are working. Florida KidCare includes free, subsidized and competitively priced options based on family income and household size. Families who do not qualify for free or subsidized coverage may purchase a competitively priced plan.
With NO application fee and year-round open enrollment, the time to apply is always now. Your family’s information is never shared outside of Florida KidCare.
Apply at http://floridakidcare.org or give them a call at 1-888-540-KIDS (5437).

PBIS STAR Store
We are a PBIS school. This means we have adopted a set of school wide expectations that define behavior expectations in and around our school campus and classrooms. Being a STAR student means being Safe, Trustworthy, Actively Engaged, and Respectful. When students are caught exhibiting one of these expectations, they earn STAR tickets which can be redeemed for various rewards.
We need your help stocking our STAR store with various items for our Pre-K through 6th graders. Order from our Amazon Wishlist with the link below to donate items or drop off other items in our front office for Christina Johnson.
For more information about our PBIS framework and STAR expectations visit https://www.brevardschools.org/Page/19350
Volunteers Needed
We are continually looking for volunteers to help with school events, field trips, and other school needs. To become an approved volunteer complete the on-line Volunteer Application (https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NjE6ZW4tVVM=) and then go directly to the BPS district office to be fingerprinted with District & School Security. The $35 Application fee has been waived until further notice. Please contact Christina Johnson with any questions.
Business Partners Wanted
We are looking for businesses to partner with us for the 2023 - 2024 school year. Our hope is to extend our network within the community and foster relationships with organizations in order to best serve our students. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Nicole Launer at launer.nicole@brevardschools.org
