Free and Reduced Price School Meal Applications – Eligibility during government shutdown
During a temporary lay-off or federal furlough without pay, families can apply for free or reduced price school meal benefits using current income information. The shutdown represents a temporary reduction in income and families experiencing these reductions must have the opportunity to apply for benefits, if needed. Applications must include all other household income and be completed according to requirements. Once the shutdown ceases, families can request their meal benefits be terminated.
To apply for meal benefits, please go to www.myschoolapps.com or pick up a paper application at any school campus.

Empower Update
This week’s focus will be on Growth and Fixed Mindsets. Students will learn the thoughts and actions of people with a fixed vs. growth mindsets. They will also take a Growth Mindset Quiz to help them recognize which mindset they currently have in most situations. Through discussions, activities, challenges, and reflections, students will practice changing a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. We will use the following videos and quotes for these lessons:
