• Parents and guardians may attend the awards and will need to enter through door number number 11(back of building near auditorium entrance). Please park in the back of the building near the football field. There will be a check in table.

A student may be signed out after the awards ceremony, just please let the classroom teacher and student know this ahead of time so they may bring their belongings with them. There will be staff members by Door #9 (the back of the building) to assist with signing out students. (Because of the changes of the schedule on the last day, we cannot pull students from other team/grade to attend a different awards ceremony, unless they are being signed out for the day.)

If your household income is less than 185% of the Federal level, the school aged children in your household may be eligible for a new program called SUN Bucks. Households that have been notified of eligibility by Direct Certification do not need to apply.

Participating families will receive $120 for each eligible child on a card that you can use to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. If you think your children are eligible, you can get SUN Bucks by filling out a simple application. To apply for SUN Bucks, apply via your child's school by Wednesday, May 1 or after Wednesday, May 1 visit https://indianasunbucks.com. Applications will be accepted until Friday, August 16, 2024 in order to get benefits for this summer. If you need assistance filling out an application, or if you have questions, submit a ticket to the online help form:

https://idoe.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11.

You will need to provide your child's name, school, date of birth, along with the names of other people in your household, your household income, and address where you would like the benefit card to be sent. You will not need to provide any documentation to

apply. Receiving Summer EBT will not affect children or families' immigration status.

In addition to SUN Bucks the children under 18 years of age in your household can also receive free meals during the summer at a summer meal site. You can call 1-866-3-HUNGRY or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (or text 914-342-7744 with the keyword "summer meals") to find the location closest to you.

Parkview families need to complete the following form for eligibility and support on lunch, Chromebook, and textbook fees for this year:

This form helps families and secures Title funds for Parkview Middle School.

The 21st Century Scholars program is a wonderful opportunity for eligible students to get four years of free college tuition. All 8th grade students that are enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program are automatically enrolled in the 21st Century program as well. However, I know we have students that are eligible for free/reduced lunch that don’t complete the application process, so I want to make sure everyone is aware of this opportunity. Please go to the link below to see the income eligibility guidelines and the enrollment process. If you feel your student may be eligible, click on ‘Create an Account’ in the green box. Once you have created an account, apply for the program. If you need any help at all, please reach out and I will be happy to assist. Thank you.
