Services That REACH HIGHER

Students experincing homelessness and the foster care system qualifying under the McKinney-Vento Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act are eligible for additional support.

McKinney-Vento Rights

Under the McKinney-Vento Act and California state law, students experiencing homelessness can enroll in school even if they have uncertain housing, a temporary address, or no permanent physical address.

Foster Youth

Students experiencing the foster care system may attend their school of origin through the end of the academic school year, and school placement decisions must be made in the student’s best interest.

Breaking Down BARRIERS

If you live under. any of these conditions, you do not need to provide the following to enroll or attend school:


Proof of residency

 

Immunization records or TB skin test results

 
 

School records

 

Legal guardianship papers

Your child may have the right to:

  • Immediate enrollment in the school they last attended (school of origin) or the local school where you are currently staying, even if you do not have all the documents normally required at the time of enrollment.
  • Continue to attend their school of origin, if requested by you and it is in the best interest.
  • Receive transportation to and from their school of origin, the same special programs and services, if needed, as provided to all other children, including free meals and Title I.
  • Receive the full protections and services provided under all federal and state laws, as it relates to homeless children, youth, and their families.

Partnerships are POWER

Beyond the incredible impact we are making in the classroom, we know that helping families meet their own needs also helps our students thrive at school. With this in mind, we connect families with information and resources for:
