Birthday Shout Outs!
Perdew Elementary School has implemented a “no food items” approach to celebrating birthdays within the school day. Many of our students have health concerns related to food, including allergies, diabetes, obesity and sensitivities to dyes. Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to keep students healthy and maximize learning time at school.

Free and Reduced-Price Meals, Subsidized Child Care & Transportation:
Beginning with the upcoming 2023-24 school year, the Etiwanda School District is reintroducing the Federal Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals (FRPM) application as a way to identify and assist families who require financial support. By completing this application, families who qualify on the FRPM may become eligible for subsidized child care or transportation costs, ensuring that their children have access to essential services. We understand that financial circumstances can change from year to year, which is why income eligibility is an annual requirement. To continue receiving assistance, it is important for families to complete the application each year. We encourage all eligible families to take this opportunity and complete the FRPM application. Your participation is vital in helping us identify and assist those in need within our Etiwanda School District community. Complete the FRPM application today and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow for your family! Applying online is the quickest and most convenient way to apply!
