Viking Voices: The People of Princeton

FinalForms is an online platform that is used to capture students’ enrollment documents as well as important emergency contact information. The forms for the 2022-2023 school year are now available and must be completed in order to finalize the enrollment for next year. You may need to toggle to the next school year at the top of the form to ensure you are in next year's forms.

All families are required to update and submit these digital forms each year, for each student.

Please take a moment to review FinalForms for your Princeton students and complete all required steps.

You may contact the office staff at your child’s school with any questions.

Free Meals for All Students Ending

When the 2021-2022 school year ends, so do free meals for every student.

While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue funding this program.

This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their student’s school meal accounts when school begins in the fall.

We understand that this change may cause you to worry. However, there are important steps you can take today to be sure your student receives the meals they need next year.

If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them next year, but you must take action to make it happen. Please follow the steps below.

• Complete the 2021-2022 application before the end of this school year if you have not already filled out an application for the 2021-2022 school year. This will give you a 30-day (school days) grace period at the start of the 2022-2023 school year to complete another application for next year.

• Next, complete the 2022-2023 online application, which will be available on the district’s website after July 1, 2022. Even if you complete the 2021-2022 application, you still need to complete the 2022-2023 application as well.

• If you do not qualify for free or reduced meals, you may begin depositing money into student accounts at any time to prepare for the cost of school lunches next year. Information on meal prices for the 2022-2023 school year will be available soon.

• If your student has a negative lunch account balance, we encourage you to pay it off as soon as possible and then begin depositing money into the account to prepare for the 2022-2023 school year.

• Prepay on the PaySchools link, which is on the website, www.payschoolscentral.com.

Completing an application is the only way to be considered for free or reduced meals. Please take action now.

Terminación de comida Gratis Para Todos Los Estudiantes

Cuando termine el año escolar 2021-2022, también la comida gratis para todos los estudiantes.

Mientras que el gobierno federal financió un programa que permitió a todos los estudiantes acceso a comida gratis durante la pandemia del COVID-19, el congreso recientemente rechazó continuar financiando este programa. Esto significa que todas las familias deben tener un balance positivo en las cuentas de almuerzo de sus estudiantes, empezando en Otoño.

Entendemos que este cambio puede causar preocupaciones. Sin embargo, hay pasos importantes que usted debe tomar hoy para asegurar que su estudiante reciba los alimentos que necesita para el próximo año escolar.

Si su estudiante es elegible para alimentos gratis o precio reducido, ellos podrían recibirlos el próximo año escolar, pero usted debe tomar acción para que esto ocurra, por favor siga los siguientes pasos.

• Complete la solicitud 2021-2022 antes del final del año escolar, si usted no la ha completado para el año 2021-2022. Esto le otorgará 30 días (días de escuela) de periodo de gracia al comienzo del año escolar 2022-2023 para completar otra aplicación para el próximo año escolar.

• Próximo,complete la solicitud en línea para el año escolar 2022-2023, la cual estará disponible en la página del distrito escolar después del 1 de Julio del 2022. Aunque usted haya completado la solicitud del 2021-2022, usted también debe completar la solicitud 2022-2023.

• Si usted no califica para los alimentos gratis o precio reducido, usted podría empezar a depositar dinero en la cuenta de almuerzo de su hijo en cualquier momento para prepararse para el costo del almuerzo escolar del próximo año. La información sobre los precios de los alimentos para el año escolar 2022-2023 estarán disponibles pronto.

• Si su estudiante tiene un balance negativo en su cuenta de almuerzo, le recomendamos pagar el balance lo más antes posible y luego empiece a depositar dinero en la cuenta para prepararse para el año escolar 2022-2023.

• Pre-pague en el enlace de PaySchools que está en nuestra página de internet, www.payschoolscentral.com. www.payschoolscentral.com.
