In accordance with the McKinney-Vento Act, our district is committed to ensuring that students experiencing homelessness receive the necessary support to succeed academically and maintain their well-being. These supports include immediate enrollment and retention regardless of lacking documentation, transportation to and from school and related activities, access to free meals and nutrition programs, provision of school supplies, clothing, and hygiene items, and participation in extracurricular activities without fees. Additionally, students will have access to counseling, tutoring, and other support services to promote their overall success and stability within the school community.
