The district also announced staff is still working on plans with community partners to provide support for families in need of childcare. Also, the family support team helps families access housing, food pantries, healthcare and mental health.

The district has created a survey here in English and Spanish to try and understand the level of need that exists in our community. Families are encouraged to fill out one survey response per student if they need support in the areas of childcare, food services and/or educational resources and support.
