ARE YOU STAYING IN TEMPORARY HOUSING?
DO YOU WANT TO STAY AT YOUR CURRENT SCHOOL?
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE ENROLLING IN SCHOOL, OR GOING TO SCHOOL?
Help may be available.
1. If you are staying temporarily with someone else because you had to leave your home, or staying in a motel, campground, shelter, or in an outside or inadequate place, you have special rights at school.
2. Those rights include:
- Staying in the same school even if you move, and receiving transportation to that school, as long as it is in your best interest
- Enrolling in school immediately without the documents schools usually require, and without a parent or guardian
- Receiving free school meals
- Getting help with school supplies and other needs
3. Contact St. Croix Prep’s Homeless Liaison, Nicole Dockham to find out if you qualify for help.
