By completing the household income form, our district is able to ensure funding from the state and federal government.  These funds assist us with employee salaries, our family resource centers, curriculum and school supplies, free lunch programs, and much more.  Please complete the form by scanning the QR code with your phone or going to https://www.myschoolapps.com/.  Thank you!

Kindergarten Parents - Please make sure your student has their vest on each day.  Kindergarten students must have an adult present with them when at the bus stop.  For afternoon arrival, please have an adult present at the bus stop.  The bus driver cannot release kindergarten students without an adult to pick them up.

Transportation Changes - If you need to change your student's transportation, please call the school before 2:30pm.  This allows us enough time to get a note to your student and to inform your student.  You can also sent a note with your student if you need to change their normal transportation.

Here are a few tips to help our car rider line run smoothly:

• Have your student name tag visible (if you do not have one, please call the office)

• Be courteous - do not pass others in the car rider line; be patient - some of our younger students take longer to get in and out of the vehicle

• If the line has already formed, please turn around at Oakland Baptist Church to get in line on Church Street.

• Thank you for your patience this first week of school!

ACP: Federal program lowers cost of internet connectivity for Kentucky families

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides enrolled households with up to $30 per month for new or existing internet service and a one-time discount of up to $100 for purchasing a tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Eligibility requirements for households include:

Kentucky is NOW hovering right at 50% participation of eligible families! Let’s continue pushing.

Congress will need to reconfirm this funding soon. Legislative members need to hear from Kentucky that this funding directly to families has had an immediate impact. Here is an easy-to-use “call” tool (savetheacp.org) that directs the public to call their Senators, asking that they continue to fund the ACP. When someone calls the number, they’ll hear a recording with instructions and talking points for their call. This tool allows us to track the number of calls made to Senate offices.

More Details:

Students in the household attend a school participating in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Community Eligibility Program (CEP), in which all students receive free or reduced-price meals;

The household participates in government assistance such as SNAP, Medicaid or other programs;

The household income is within 200% of the federal poverty level; or

Households in which anyone receives a federal Lifeline benefit.
