Innovative Classroom Projects – open to teachers, grade-level leads

Individual projects have a limit up to $1,000. Group projects may vary. Open August – Mid-September.

Special Funds Request
We wanted to share important changes regarding our board-approved “special funds requests” policy. The 2023-24 school year application period will open July 1, 2023. Due to budget constraints, we highly encourage you to submit your requests for the year at this time. Departments requesting assistance for food and staff incentives will be limited and priority will be given to student-centered functions. Support will only be granted in gift card form. Your department representative will be responsible for coordinating, purchasing and arranging pick-up/delivery of items.
Please submit all requests a minimum of 2 weeks before the event.
