Students & Families

Welcome, students and families!  Here you will find important documents and information for the 2022-2023 school year.

Students who are homeless or living in transitional settings may be protected by the federal McKinney Vento Act. These students have the right to: (1) immediate enrollment in the school they last attended or the local school where they are currently staying without fear of being separated or treated differently due to their housing situations; (2) transportation to the school of origin for the regular school day; (3) access to free meals, Title I and other educational programs, and (4) transportation to extra-curricular activities to the same extent that it is offered to other students. If you are experiencing this, please fill out the form above. Students and families with questions are welcome to contact Nowell’s School Social Worker and Homeless Education Liaison:
