Resources for Students and Families
Remember that your student’s School Counselor can be a great starting point for help and resource ideas!
The Family Community Services (FCS) team 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.
