What would you do if an active threat happened at work, at a school event, in a local business or somewhere else in our community?

Join CAPS Supervisor of Campus Safety Chris Koster for CRASE (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events), a FREE community safety training focused on practical, real-world strategies for responding to an active threat and helping keep yourself and the people around you safe.

You don’t need any special training or experience. This is for parents, grandparents, employees, business owners, coaches and anyone who wants to be better prepared.

Bring a friend. Come with your coworkers, church group or community organization. The more of us who know what to do, the stronger and more prepared our community becomes.

As we prepare for a successful school year, we need your help with a quick but crucial task: completing the Education Benefits Form. You might be wondering: "If meals are already free for students, why do I still need to fill out this form?" While universal free meal programs ensure our students are nourished every day, the Education Benefits Form is about much more than lunch. It is the primary tool used by the state and federal government to determine how much grant funding our school receives to support student learning and well-being.

Educational Benefits Form

• There will be a la carte items available for sale.

• Students must have cash or money on their food service account to purchase a la carte items.

• Students can bring cash or a check made out to CAPS food service.

• Families can also add money with a credit card (additional fees apply) at: coopersville.family portal.cloud

• Click here for additional information!

The keynote speaker is Shandy Longcore from Embracing Imperfections.
