Family Resources
As some of our families continue to be impacted financially due to Covid quarantine/time off work, we wanted to remind everyone the USD 368 counseling department created a community resource guide that is posted on our district website. If you are experiencing financial hardships, please know this resource guide is available. It also has each school's counselor/social worker's name and contact information. The link is also found below.
