Resources for Families, Especially During the Break
Important Food Benefits for Students
Students who qualify for free/reduced price lunch may be eligible for Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. (Including Distance Learning days.)
To be considered, households must submit an application for free/reduced price meals for the 2020-21 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
These funds will be generated automatically for those students who qualify. The application deadline has been extended but closes soon.

Knowledge Bowl has a plan to have a virtual season (through our regional Northeast Service Cooperative competitions to the state Knowledge Bowl tournament).
A lot of people are working on making this happen for our teams this winter! Sign up using the link to be kept in the loop as the season's plans come together.
Mr. Jones, Mrs. Peterson, and Mr. Nygaard welcome you!
