Dear North Crawford Families,
We want to take a moment to reassure our families about the school breakfast and lunch program.
Even with the current government shutdown, free and reduced-price meals will continue without interruption for all students who qualify.
If your family already qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, that eligibility will remain in place for the entire school year—no matter what changes may occur with your household income or other benefits. Your child’s access to healthy school meals will not be affected.
We also want to note that families receiving FoodShare (SNAP) benefits may experience temporary delays in their benefit distribution during the shutdown. While this can understandably cause concern, please know that these delays do not impact your child’s ability to receive free or reduced-price school meals each day.
If your family’s circumstances change at any time, you can submit an application for free or reduced-price meals throughout the school year. Our goal is to ensure every student has access to nutritious meals so they can stay focused, healthy, and ready to learn.
If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to Food Service Director, Jennifer Kapinus at jkapinus@ncrawford.k12.wi.us or by phone at 608-735-7213.

Tech Tips for Families: How to Protect Teens from Online Scams
Online scams targeting teens are becoming more common and more sophisticated. Internet Matters has created a guide to help parents and caregivers protect teens effectively:
Teach teens to recognize phishing, impersonation tactics, and too-good-to-be-true offers.
Encourage a simple safety framework: Recognise (watch for scam signs), React (stop and don’t engage), Resolve (report and block).
Emphasize digital resilience by building critical thinking and safe skepticism to avoid scams.
Keep conversations open so teens feel comfortable sharing if something suspicious happens.

The North Crawford School District recently received donations from two local organizations to support our students. Westby Co-Op Credit Union (WCCU) recently packed and donated 200 snack packs for our North Crawford students. We also received a monetary donation from Collision Specialists, an auto body repair shop located in several communities in southwest Wisconsin, to support programs and students. We value our partnership with these local organizations and their support of North Crawford students. THANK YOU. #TrojanPride
