FRS is dedicated to supporting families' capacity to raise healthy, well-functioning, and successful children through a broad array of prevention and early intervention services paired with case management. These services are developed and delivered according to the unique needs of families in each school community. The program especially emphasizes outreach to traditionally underserved populations to increase access to basic services and engagement in school with the goals of academic achievement and family stability.
BVSD Free and Reduced Lunch Program
As you may already be aware, breakfast and lunch are now FREE for BVSD students. Students will receive a full breakfast, along with one entree (with unlimited salad/fruit to accompany the entree) for free each day next year. Even though lunch is now free, it is still very important that families complete the free and reduced meal application, as it waives and reduces fees (including athletics/activities and school technology fees) district-wide for families, can impact transportation for some families, and impacts important funding for individual schools. It also qualifies families for a 50% reduction in Lifelong Learning tuition, and waived tuition for BVSD Online classes (excluding the $50 registration fee).
Other Services
Other services vary among the FRS Schools and can include, or support obtaining, the following:
- Academic training
- Child care and child care subsidies
- Basic needs and transportation assistance
- Dental, medical and vision care
