506 Forms
Thank you all who have returned your form
REVIEW: In order to receive our Federal Native American grant funding, we need your help as
there are two parts of the grant. Part I consists of the district sending into the Office of Indian Education a count of completed 506 Forms that on file in our office. This form is used only as a count
to apply for our grant for the following school year and is not shared. Completed information ensures that we are in compliance with the Office of Indian Education. Part II consists of applying
for the grant in the spring based on the funding we receive from the count of 506 forms.
Attention High Students
Have you thought about College? It’s important to
start early. There are many registration deadlines
in February.
