Student Update Form and Free/Reduced Meal Application

August 16, 2018 By relek

It is time to prepare for the 2018-19 school year! We need to gather accurate information about each student and family in our schools. It is very important we have this information to ensure the safety of all students, fulfill state requirements, receive State and Federal funding, and communicate important messages to families.

The District requires that all student information be updated for the 2018-19 school year using our online system, PowerSchool. All families must use their PowerSchool account to update information and complete the yearly mandated forms, including: Field Trip, Media Permission, Dismissal, Health forms (and Lunch forms, if applicable). Student information can only be updated online by families; it cannot be updated by your school or the District. Please do this during the next few weeks by following the steps below.

NOTE: If student information is not updated by Tuesday, September 4th (the fourth day of school) that student will not be allowed to attend school until their update is complete. If a student without updated information comes to school on September 4th he/she will be sent home.

Here follow the instructions below to complete the Annual Student Update Form or fill out the Free and Reduced Meals Application.

Voters Pass School Budget!

“Thank you, Burlington, for your continued support!” says Superintendent Obeng.

On March 6th, 2018, Town Meeting Day, Burlington voters overwhelmingly approved Burlington School District’s proposed 2018-2019 budget. The budget passed with 72% of all votes cast in favor of its passage!

“On behalf of the School District, I want to thank everyone who voted on Town Meeting Day,” says Superintendent Yaw Obeng. “We are pleased our community turned out to support the budget and we look forward to using these resources to implement our strategic goals, as we strive to reduce disparities in the system, and close the achievement gap while raising the bar for all of our students. There’s work to be done and we’re excited to continue in our efforts.”

“For the past five months, the Burlington Board of School Commissioners has worked diligently to put forth and advocate for a school budget we believe will help our District achieve our goals while staying mindful of the impacts our budget has on the greater community,” said Board Chair Stephanie Seguino. “It took a lot of time and effort, and we wholeheartedly thank the voters for their support by passing this budget. I look forward to watching the Board’s new leadership work with the administration to accomplish the District’s goals.”
