Resources for Students and Families
Remember that your student’s School Counselor can be a great starting point for help and resource ideas!
For help or questions about the resources below, feel free to contact the Family Community Services (FCS) team for support. FCS can support a wide range of access to resources, including basic needs and health and wellness concerns.
To notify the district of a change in housing, please fill out a Student Housing Questionnaire. These can be returned to your school office or the district office.
