We Need Your Help!
In the past, students needed to fill out a form in order to qualify for free or reduced cost meals. That has been replaced by the School Funding Form.
We need ALL parents and guardians to fill this form out, so your school will continue to receive these important supplemental services and programs. General funding takes care of the basics. Supplemental funding supports many additional services such as intervention teachers, mental health professionals, nurses, bilingual aids and parent coordinators just to name a few.
The School Funding Form ensures our school receives the greatest amount of funding available from the state and this funding is used to increase services for our school. Without everyone’s participation, we may not receive all of the funding we are entitled to from the state - meaning fewer services for our students.
● Our system is confidential, your information will stay secure.
● Your tax dollars pay for public education. By filling out this form, you can reclaim tax dollars for your school and District programs.
● No documents or proof of income needs to be submitted.
● There is no cost for filling out the School Funding Form
You may access the School Funding Form through the forms section of the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
DUE: Friday, Oct 15, 2021
If you need help filling out this form, please call us at (916) 294-9110.
Thank you for your partnership.
