Help Schools Qualify for Extra Funding
Completing the income verification form can add support to your school's academic and extracurricular programs.
Our schools receive extra funding from the State to support academic and extracurricular programs. By completing a quick form, your child may be eligible for reduced priced home internet, county bus passes, free or reduced breakfast and lunch next school year, and more.
Even if your child may not take advantage of these services, completing this form will allow schools to qualify for grants, receive free transportation on field trips, and help qualify for more funding for extracurricular enrichment programs.
It is important for your child and the entire school community.
Please take a few minutes to complete a form over the phone by calling Diane Nunes at (408) 558-4203.
Or you can print, complete, and return to your child's school as soon as possible.
You can also call Food Services with any questions you may have or to complete an application over the phone. Call (408) 558-4203.

Hopes and Dreams for the Future - Art Show by the SCCOE
With the Presidential Inauguration and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday at the end of January, we think it is a great time to ask students to share their thoughts about the world ahead of us. As a result, the SCCOE is asking students to create a piece of art that clearly address the theme: Hopes and Dreams for the Future.
Submissions are due January 6, 2021, selected pieces will be highlighted on the SCCOE website; as well as, at their Power of Democracy virtual event at the end of January. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/367TcKa.
