Unified School District is excited to be able to provide free School meals for all of our students beginning in the 2018-19 school year. Did you know that when students receive a healthy breakfast and lunch they're able to focus more on school and learn better? That's true! In fact, well-nourished students have higher test scores, increase school attendance, and improve concentration and classroom behavior. Mmm. That is good. Can I get some more of that? Through Senate Bill 138, Ukiah Unified is implementing a new process called the Community Eligibility Provision. Previously, we relied on the collection of Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications to determine our Supplemental and Concentration Grant funding. This year, instead of the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications, we will be sending an Educational Benefit Form home with every student that is easier to fill out and doesn't require a social security number. "Why is this form so important?", you might ask. Well, it is because it funds some of our most vital programs. Our schools received about 11 million dollars in funding to support programs such as art and music, peer support programs, Gifted and Talented Education, after-school tutoring, academic clubs and competitions, school safety, after-school and athletic transportation, magnet schools, counseling, elementary school P.E., Career and Technical Education, and parent engagement. But, that's not all. These funds also support many other important things, like reading teachers, Student Success Coordinators, Community Family Liaisons, counselors, library books and materials, smaller class sizes, Chromebooks and technology, instructional materials, and so much more. Take a look at some of these great things we've done just this year as a result of these programs that we could not support without this additional funding. Do you need help filling out the Educational Benefit Forms? Don't worry, your schools' Family Community Liaisons are here to guide you every step of the way. We can talk you through it over the phone, or schedule a meeting. To make it easy for you, we have also created a short tutorial that walks you through filling out the form step-by-step. To view the tutorial, click the link at the end of this video. Thank you so much for supporting our students and helping to provide us with a quality education.
