Covid- 19 Update from Principals
TEA will now be releasing guidelines on Tuesday, June 23rd. We will be monitoring and be responsive to those guidelines. We are still looking forward to a safe and healthy in person opening, many of us in new and newly renovated buildings! We are actively working on setting up virtual learning platforms for hybrid and virtual learning options as they are needed. We are in the midst of planning summer orientations for students and families. We are planning and being proactive about ways to teach, reinforce and monitor safe and healthy habits.
Please email bthompson@compassroeschools.org or cclaflin@compassroseschools.org if you have any questions.

Children that attend a school that offers free meals to all students (Community Eligibility Provision or Provision 2) are also eligible.
The online application for P-EBT is now open. Please review the criteria to see if you need to apply to receive these benefits. The application link is provided below.
