Dear Rome City School District Families,

Here's how you can help:

  1. Completing the Form:  Your participation is crucial for our district's receiving all the funding it deserves.  
  2. Submission Options: You have three convenient options for returning the completed form:
    • Use the provided self-addressed envelope for mailing.
    • Have your child bring the form to the cafeteria staff.
    • Utilize the online submission option through the DocuSign Form.  FORM
  1. Importance of Participation: Some families may wonder, "If my child is already receiving free lunch through the Community Eligibility Provision, why do I need to fill out the form?" The answer lies in the fact that the school district's funding formulas rely, in part, on the information provided in this form. Your participation is vital to preserving the district's ability to provide robust services and programs for all families. Importantly, this process does not impact your child's eligibility for free lunch; it solely influences funding for various programs.

Your commitment to completing and returning the HIEF form will significantly contribute to securing the resources our district needs to maintain and enhance the quality of education and services we provide to our students and families. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Whitmore: at cwhitmore@romecsd.org or 315-338-6555

Thank you for your ongoing support.
