District urges parents to return Impact A cards and community eligibility forms; funding depends on returns

Superintendent Heim urged families on the district podcast to return Impact A cards and the community eligibility form as soon as possible, saying the district’s ability to secure certain funds depends on timely submission.

“You gotta have them back. As soon as possible,” Heim said. He added that the money to fund programs and services “is created because you as parents and you as teachers get those forms in and get them to the central office where we can put those on our books and get the funding that those forms generate.”

Heim said most community eligibility forms were already in and generally eligible, but asked families to complete any outstanding digital or paper forms if they have not yet done so. He also noted the district sent forms home and collected thousands back; staff estimated large-volume returns and asked parents to resend if they received a second copy and were unsure whether the district received their original submission.
