Government Shutdown Resources

We recognize that the current government shutdown may be creating uncertainty or hardship for some of our families. Please know that you are not alone, our schools and the district are here to help connect you with resources and support.

If your family is experiencing challenges such as food insecurity, financial strain, or other needs, reach out to your school counselor or school office. We can help connect you with community partners and programs that provide assistance with meals, school supplies, and other essentials.
