📆Panther families, mark your calendars!📆
Free vaccination clinics will be hosted on July 28 and July 31 during open houses. Please see the flyers for details on schools and times. In addition, a nurse from the health department will be at the Carroll County Child Development Center on July 31 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Panther families, please see these flyers for information about open houses at the Carroll County Child Development Center, Kathryn Winn and Cartmell Elementary.
Panther families, we need your help to keep vital resources flowing into our schools. Before the new year begins, please take a few moments to complete the Household Income Form. Even though all Carroll County students receive free meals through the Community Eligibility Program, this form is still essential because it determines whether students qualify for free or reduced fees on things like courses and computer use. More importantly, it helps secure critical funding for programs like Title I and the Family Resources Youth Services Center (FRYSC), which supports our students every day. Submitting your form early not only benefits the district, but also saves our FRYSC team valuable time tracking down paperwork later. Thank you for making a difference!
