The American Rescue Plan Act contains relief provisions for individual taxpayers, including some significant changes to the Child Tax Credit.
The Advance Child Tax Credit is not just available to taxpayers with children that file tax returns, but also to people with children who have low or no income.
To qualify for Advance Child Tax Credit payments, individuals must:
· Have a main home in the United States for more than half the year; and
· Have a qualifying child who is under age 18 at the end of 2021 and who has a valid Social Security number; and
· have earned income less than Modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of:
$75,000 or less for singles,
$112,500 or less for heads of household and
$150,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return and qualified widows and widowers
If you don't file a federal income tax return, you can still receive this credit! Use the Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool available on IRS.gov.
Advanced Child Tax Credit payments are not considered income and will not affect your access to government benefits like SSI, SNAP, TANF or WIC. See #IRS info at https://go.usa.gov/x6fyE

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Preferred Auto Dealerships for supporting our students. We have great students and know that we will build the culture we want by recognizing students for doing the right thing. Preferred Auto Dealerships will be partnering with us to give away a car at the end of the year to a deserving student. Yes….a car! Students will learn more information soon about Ride With Pride and how it is connected to the Rocket Way in and out of school. Thanks Preferred Auto Dealerships for your investment in our students.

We'd love to see you at open house.
Some of our students did a “book tasting” today to find a book that interests them for a book group. It’s our mission to connect students to books that engage them in order to empower all students to live literate lives.

Today, we got to appreciate the opportunity for students to sit down together at a table and eat lunch. Our high school students haven’t done this since March 13, 2020. Sometimes, great things can be some of the simplest things.
On a sidenote, a lunch menu for this month is in the photos. Also, there is always a nacho bar, pizza, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps, and prepared salads in addition to whatever the rotating entrées are. Students get salad, fruits, vegetables, and milk with all options.
Lunch is free for all students this year. There are some items available à la carte that do have an additional cost.
Thank you food-service for providing so many great options for our students. We know that access to nutritious meals help our students learn better.
There are so many things we are excited for this year and our after school program is one of them. This will start during the third week of school.
