In August, an application is mailed to every household in the district.

If you do not receive an application or if you are new to the district, use the Application for Educational Benefits available by calling (651) 603-4950 to have one mailed to you or you can pick one up at your child's school.  Applications for  foster children or children residing in a residential institution can also be obtained by calling or stopping by. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information.  

To provide the best service to the families of our students, we process these applications by computer.  To speed the processing, please print neatly using a black pen and stay within the boxes provided.
