A portion of school funding relies on complete and accurate data about our community. We collect this information through My School Apps. In the past, these applications were primarily used for free and reduced lunch applications, but now are critical to capture other data for our school funding, as meals for all students are free.
Important: Funding for Our Students
Our students deserve the resources and support that should be allocated to them. In order for our school district to receive those funds, we need your help. There is a friendly competition between all of the schools in OUESD, and I am very competitive, so please help Iron House come in first place! Please take a few minutes to complete this short form:
👉 School Funding Form
Our goal is 100% family participation by September 26 ,so we can be fully funded and continue providing important services for students. Thank you to the families who have already completed the form!
