Frequently Asked Questions
How do I notify the district that my child is unhoused?
If you and your child become unhoused (i.e. homeless) during the school year, you can notify the campus and completing a Student Residency Questionnaire (link below). Following submission of this information, a Liaison with the H.E.L.P. program will reach out to you to discuss what supports and services your child needs to successfully continue with their education. Please complete a separate form for child.
How do I determine what campus my child should attend?
Students can either attend their school of origin (campus they were attending when they became unhoused) OR students can attend their school of location (based on current residence). To determine school of location, utilize this link: School Site Locator
