Title 1 School – This marks the first year that our school receives additional federal funds.  These federal funds are targeted to school that have a large amount of students who qualify for free and/or reduced meals.  We have at least 76% of our students who qualify.  It is very important that our families submit their meals application forms in order for our school to receive Title 1 funds.  Please speak with our Food Service Manager, Mrs. Maria Siqueiros, if you have any questions about the meals application.
