HELP SUMMER LAKE REACH OUR 100% GOAL!!!!
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.
Our goal is that 100% of our families complete this application by September 26 so that we ensure we can be FULLY FUNDED to be able to provide the supports and services needed for families. Thank you to all families who already completed this form!
Also, families may also qualify for extra services and/or benefits such as:
● Transportation: May result in discounted or free school bus transportation to and from school.
● Internet Access: May qualify you for discounted rates on home internet service.
● Discounted Utilities: May qualify you for a discount on your home utilities.
● P-EBT: Determines eligibility to receive pandemic EBT benefits.
● After School Programs: May qualify for discounted and or free services.
● Enrichment Programs: May qualify for discounted and/or free services
You can access the short form at My School Apps
Thank you for helping us reach our goal! We realize that families may not qualify for additional services and appreciate your willingness to meet our goal of 100% participation.
