📣 Dieck Families — We Need Your Help!
We are currently at 29% completion for our 2026–2027 Educational Benefits Forms, and our goal is 100%!
Even if you think your family may not qualify for benefits, every family completing the form helps support our students and school. Information from these forms can help determine:
🏫 School funding
📚 Programs and services for students
🎯 Educational opportunities and resources
☀️ Eligibility for programs such as SUN Bucks/Summer EBT for families who qualify
Forms can be completed throughout the school year, but different programs use information from different reporting periods. Completing your form early helps make sure your family and our school don't miss potential benefits.
🎯 Our Dieck goal: Complete your form by September 30! This will help us have as many forms as possible completed before Fall Count Day in early October.
It only takes a few minutes. Every form matters — help us get from 29% to 100%! ❤️🐉
