Accommodations for Enrollment and Educational rights for children of Military Families
Children of military families will be provided flexibility regarding certain district requirements, including:

- Grade level, course, or educational placement
- Eligibility requirements for participation in extracurricular activities
- Graduation requirements
In addition, absences related to a student visiting with his or her parent, including a stepparent or legal guardian, who has been called to activity duty for, is on leave from, or is returning from a deployment of at least four months will be excused by the district.
The district will permit no more than five excused absences per year for this purpose. For the absence to be excused, the absence must occur no earlier than the 60th day before deployment or no later than the 30th day after the parent’s return from deployment.

Operation Homefront
Supporting Military Families in Need. Get Help Now!!
Operation Homefront- Relief, Recovery and Recognition
It's a great feeling. To get RELIEF during a crisis, a place to RECOVER if you need it and a little bit of RECOGNITION for a life of sacrifice. That is what Operation Homefront is all about... and it's making a difference.
Relief - Operation Homefront assists military families during difficult financial times by providing food assistance, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items, and financial assistance.
Recover - Wounded Warriors are a specific concern for Operation Homefront. That is why Operation Homefront has established Operation Homefront Village. The caregiver for wounded warriors also needs help and that is why we formed Hearts of Valor.
Recognition - Operation Homefront supports every military family member. They host a gala each year that recognizes an extraordinary military child and they host multiple Homefront Celebrations each year to show their appreciation to military spouses.
