ACTION REQUIRED: Lunch/Family Income Inquiry Form

Although school lunch is free this year, ALL families are required to fill out the Lunch/ Family Income Inquiry Forms. The information provided may help 276 receive additional funding. We encourage families to complete the form online. Hard copies of this form will be sent home with your child in September and will also be available in the 276 main office.

If you do not wish to provide your household income information to the DOE, all families must still complete the form but may click the "I do not wish to provide my household information" box on the Application Instruction page online.

Please respond to this email if you need your student's OSIS/Student ID # (it is also available on their report cards.) New student #s will not be available until early September.

School Supplies 2019-2020

K-5th grade School Supplies:

We order supplies in bulk and ask families to donate funds to our supply money through the PTA. Information on how to donate to this fund will be available in September. All students should have a backpack big enough to hold folders and books, and we suggest sending your child to school with a water bottle.

Please register in our PTA Membership Toolkit to donate to the school supplies fund at the beginning of the school year.
