Family Resources

The YMCA provides Before and After Care for children who attend ISD 196. Child care provided by the Y is more than looking after kids. It’s about nurturing their development by providing a safe place to learn and develop healthy, trusting relationships.

Community Education Classes for East Lake Elementary begin October 19th!

Do you need extra food for the weekend?

The Sheridan Story is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to fight child hunger through community and school partnerships. They make a difference by focusing on food gaps like weekends, school breaks, and summer when children can’t receive meals in school.

• Free for all families
• No qualifications required to receive food
• Students/families will receive a 4-5 pound bag of non-perishable food each week

The Sheridan Story weekend bags will be available for pick-up on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:00, the same time and at the same location as the District’s 5-day grab and go breakfast/lunch boxes for 196 Digital Academy participants.  If you are a 196 Digital Academy family and are participating in the District’s 5-day breakfast and lunch box pick-up, please let the outside helpers know you’re also interested in receiving one of the Sheridan bags.  If you are not a 196 Digital Academy family, you are still able to pick up Sheridan food bags at that time. If you’re not able to make it on that day and/or time, please fill out the form to have a bag sent home with your child.

THE SHERIDAN BAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE STARTING ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2020.
