When families complete a School Funding Form, it helps us help our students get the support they need. This information allows us to access state and federal funding to provide classroom materials, enrichment, field trips, intervention and extra staff to support our students and families. Only one form is needed per family. This information is confidential and is not shared with agencies unrelated to the school district. The funding form can be completed through the School Funding Jot Form or by completing a hard copy in English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Farsi, or Pashto and returing to the school office. Thank you!
