Welcome Back!! Jr-Sr High School students return on Monday. Elementary students' parents have parent-teacher conferences Monday and Tuesday. If you do not have an elementary parent teacher conference please contact your elementary building secretary.

Please fill out the Free and Reduced Nutrition application linked here: https://5il.co/wx36.
The socio-economic data directly affects all Federal funding. EBF received significantly fewer resources per student when compared to districts around us. I believe the socio-economic status of the EBF district is similar to the surrounding communities and we should receive similar amounts of Federal resources per student served. Two major types of funding from the federal government are Title and COVID Recovery resources.
The socio-economic data also directly affects many grant applications EBF has filed recently. Most grants have a socio-economic factor in their rubric to determine award winners. The EBF district actively pursues grants from the state of Iowa and the Federal government throughout the year.
Please return the application to your respective building secretary who will forward the information to Tara Waldren, Director of Nutrition.
All applications remain confidential.
Sincerely,
Scott Williamson
Superintendent of EBF
