Dear RSU 16 Families,

The amount of money RSU 16 receives from the state to support our schools is based on many factors - but the most important are the number of students we serve and the economic needs of our families.

While all students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch this year, we still need your help by completing the Alternate Economic Status Form. This required form replaces the traditional Free and Reduced Meal Application and is essential for helping us qualify for state and federal funding that supports student programs, staffing, and classroom resources like our elementary Title I programs.

On August 5th, a request to complete the digital version of the Alternate Economic Status Form was sent via ReachMyTeach. If you have not yet completed the form, we kindly ask that you do so at your earliest convenience.

If you did not receive the digital request, please complete a paper copy of the form and return it to your student’s school.

Thank you for your support and partnership in helping all students thrive.

Sincerely,

Amy Hediger
Superintendent
