Community Eligibility Provision Forms (CEP)
On Wednesday, August 26th, your student brought home an important form from their 2nd period class, the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Form. This form helps our campus qualify for free or reduced price meals for every student and plays a key role in securing important funding that benefits our entire school community.
The campus will be reaching out DAILY to families who haven’t yet returned their forms, so please be sure to complete and sign the form on the back to avoid any follow up calls.
To add a little extra fun, the first TEN classes to return 100% of their forms will earn a pizza party.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Main Office for additional assistance.
Go Panthers!
