            Along with providing free or reduced meals for students this program also helps with:

            • Waived college application fees

            • Waived after-school program fees

            • Access to specialized tutoring programs

            • Lower internet costs

            • Waived fees to take the ACT, SAT, and the Advanced Placement exams

            • P-EBT (Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer)


            This program helps not only the students, but Swanson and the whole school district as well due to the state and federal dollars that are tied to these counts.


            We can not thank you enough for taking the time to complete the free/reduced meal application. Swanson is currently at 45%. We must be at 50% or higher to qualify for Title 1 benefits next year. EVERY APPLICATION COUNTS!


            Please help us continue to be a TITLE 1 SCHOOL so Swanson can continue providing services and programs to our students!

            • IS THIS YOU?

              Your family depends on subsistence activities to feed your family, and...

               Your child(ren) has, in the past 3 years, participated in seasonal subsistence fishing, commercial fishing and/or berry picking and brought the food home (dates must fall within a one year period);

               AND the activities were at least 20 miles away from your primary residence for 7 overnights or more (does not need to be consecutive);

               OR your child(ren) traveled with you while you were logging and/or farming outside of the Mat-Su Borough School District (MSBSD) for 7 overnights or more (does not need to be consecutive).

               Eligible youth must be under 20 years old but are not required to be registered in a school. Therefore, preschoolers, homeschoolers, and out of school youth are also eligible if they have not graduated.

               If the answer is yes, your child(ren) may qualify for Migrant Education Services. All activities must meet economic necessity for program qualification. Please complete the Parent Request Form https://forms.gle/XDsKsU9ThDyoxPqf7

          • School Dismissal Manager

            It is no longer necessary for you to phone the school, send notes, or send an email to inform the school of dismissal changes. School Dismissal Manager will provide us with a more organized and efficient tracking system for afternoon dismissals.
