All of our school families are asked to review and complete the student income form. This information is very important to ensure our continued participation in the Federal programs. These programs provide a variety of materials and services for the children, teachers, and our school. It is one of the few benefits our children receive from your tax dollars and we do not want to lose it. After reading the information below, please click here to complete the form by Thursday, October 7.

Why should you complete the student income form if your child does not eat school meals?
In order to receive money for e-rate, technology, and connectivity this form must be completed by each family. The income levels do affect other federal programs from which our school benefits.
For eligible elementary schools, the amount of federal funds your school building receives is dependent on the return of this completed form. These funds, known as Title I, pay for additional educational services for students who are failing or at risk of failing to meet the same high standards as everyone else in the school. Our district provides additional tutoring in reading and mathematics. Title I requires that funds be given to schools based on the number of children from low-income families.
While the amount of money each school receives depends on the number of children from low-income families, the tutoring services are based on the academic need of the students regardless of income level.
What happens if you fill out this form?
- Your name will not be given out to anyone except your district.
- Your school building may be able to get more money.
- That money may be used:
- to hire teachers
- to buy materials
- for technology
- for connectivity
