We need all families to complete the Education Benefits form. Doing this will secure important resources such as staff, curriculum, and mental health support for our students. In fact, we risk losing over $1.6 million in funding if these forms are not filled out.

Families, please fill out the form by October 1. The form can be found here and takes 5 minutes to complete: https://brandywine.familyportal.cloud/
