In these challenging times we would like to make families aware of an increase to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If families already get SNAP benefits, additional funding will be sent to the benefit card. Any family NOT already receiving SNAP, but qualifying for the school Free and Reduced lunch program will be mailed a card that will be able to be used in the same way. There will be payments for March and April, and another for May and June. The funding stream is not from DSS, rather from the Office of Temporary Disability Services. Families will not have to apply separately for this benefit.

We know that across the state Seniors are disappointed about graduation ceremonies. All Didtricts are struggling with this disappointment. Please see regulations regarding no gathering larger than 10 people. We are making a variety of plans for our hardworking, well deserving Class of 2020.
