Description

Join your classmates and friends to help take care of Frick Park!  The ECS Intermediate School has adopted a section of Frick Park near our building.  Throughout the school year ECS EcoStewards complete hands-on service activities to protect our park.  EcoStewards are a dedicated and hard working group of kids committed to taking care of our environment!

 

This winter our projects will focus on habitats in Frick Park.  We will spend some time hiking & nature journaling, creating bird feeders, and if the weather cooperates, a field trip! Our activities will take place outside in all but extreme weather conditions and we often hike 1-2 miles, so wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes.




Held at Intermediate School surrounding area: Frick Park

*Please read the following information and complete the steps below to be eligible for a "Reduced" or “Nominal” fee when registering for an OST (Out of School Time) club or sport for 2024-2025.

If your student does not qualify for a “Reduced” or “Nominal” fee but you also need financial assistance or have any other questions about activities/athletics, please email [email protected] or [email protected]

1. Determine your eligibility for a reduced sport/club fee or a nominal sport/club fee based on the "Child Nutrition Programs: Income Eligibility Guidelines (2024-2025)" info-graph below. If you have TANF or SNAP you may also qualify for a nominal fee. 

2. If you take advantage of our nominal or reduced rates, note ECS will cross-reference your eligibility. If you are not eligible, you may not be able to participate in our clubs without submitting the fee. If you have any questions concerning your F&R status, please reach out to Niki Hutcherson, Food Service Director, at [email protected]

3. Sign in or sign up for Jumbula (by clicking the registration button below), and select your "Tuition" as either "Reduced" or "Nominal" based on the income guidelines.

How do students qualify for a nominal or reduced-price?
Students from families with incomes at or below 130% of the poverty level, and children in families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and children in families receiving food stamp benefits are eligible for nominal priced sport/club fees. Students in families whose income is between 130% and 185% of the poverty level are eligible for reduced price sport/club fee.

For example, if you are a family of 4 and make $50,000 annually, you would qualify for a "Reduced Fee" under these guidelines; if you are a family of 4 and make $36,000 annually, you would qualify for a "Nominal Fee".
