Hi Montgomery Families,
With the holidays approaching, I wanted to make sure everyone had access to the below information. If you or any family in Sycamore Community Schools would like some support through the holiday season (or at any other time) please fill out the forms below. While everyone currently receives free lunch and breakfast, your family may be eligible to have school fees waived. Additionally, we can connect families with outside resources to help with clothing, food and gifts. For Free and reduced lunch information Sycamore Child Nutrition (this also waives school fees) offers an online application option. This allows you to find out whether you qualify or not instantaneously. Turn around time for the paper application can be up to 10 days, so we highly recommend applying online versus the paper application. You will need to set up an account if you apply online.
Apply by Submitting a Hard Copy
Authorization to Share Information
(if your family could use help with food for the holidays or clothing)
Best,
Amy
