UIL Academic Meet
Booker T. Washington Elementary captured first place in the Elgin ISD UIL Academic Meet on Jan. 20 at Elgin Middle School. Our thanks to our students and parents who assisted in any way.
Information for School Funding
It is important for families to continue sharing household income information in order for our schools to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to.
We are asking all families to fill out the free and reduced lunch application to see if you qualify and so that the state can have accurate information regarding our free and reduced lunch numbers so we can be funded correctly. If families do not fill out the free and reduced lunch applications, our school and district can lose out on important state funding that our school and students benefit from.
