It truly "takes a village"...

Thankfully, there are more "ups" than "downs" when raising children. And, thankfully there are some wonderful resources available to families during those "down" moments. Below are a few helpful links in creating a community of support during tough times. Further individual research would need to be done to see if any of the below are right for you and your family. Please let us know if you learn of other helpful resources, as we like to keep this list up-to-date! Hopefully some of the information below will give you a place to start. 

• Have you lost your job? Has your income dramatically decreased? Or, does your student already qualify for Free/Reduced lunch?

  • Don't worry, there is assistance, and it will be kept confidential!

    • Pick up a Free/Reduced Lunch application in the school office. If your student qualifies, she/he may get assistance with both breakfast and lunch.

    • Free/Reduced Lunch students also have access to SAT/ACT/AP test & college application fee waivers. Such students can also see her/his counselor if there is a need for basic school supplies, clothing/shoe resources, senior party scholarships, etc. For any of these resources, have your student see her/his counselor for more information!
