Welcoming a new baby is an exciting time for many families. The Grandparents Class through Early Learning helps grandparents living near or far prepare for their special role.

This important programming provides young learners an opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and build skills to prepare for kindergarten. Part-time and full-time options are available.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month for internet services. Families are eligible to participate in ACP if a student in the household receives free or reduced-price school meals.
