New Online Application For Free and
Reduced Price
Meals For Students |
Applying for free and reduced price meals for students just got a whole lot easier for parents in the Osceola School District. Campus Grille, the district's food service department, has now launched a new online application process, which is faster and more secure than having parents fill out paper applications as in the past.
Parents are encouraged to begin applying now for the 2010/2011 school year by logging on to www.osceola.k12.fl.us, and clicking on the free and reduced meal application link. There are numerous benefits to applying electronically:
• The Campus Grille Department is able to provide parents with faster service;
• There will be no lost applications;
• Confidential personal information will be completely secure;
• Parents can now track the progress of their application, with approval given in one to two days; and
• Parents only need to fill out one application for the entire household.
In light of the volume of applications that come in at the beginning of the school year, parents are encouraged to apply early and utilize this new online resource. Computers, to complete the application, will be available for parent use in the Campus Grille Department, located at 817 Bill Beck Boulevard (Building 2000) in Kissimmee, Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
For further information or assistance, call the Campus Grille Department at 407-870-4678. |

Osceola School District Receives Large Grant to Enhance Teaching of American History |
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan recently announced the award of $115.3 million to 124 school districts through the Teaching American History (TAH) Grant Program. Grantee locations span 40 states, the District of Columbia, and American Samoa, with the Osceola School District being one of seven awardees in Florida awarded a three-year grant totaling approximately $1 million. The U.S. Department of Education’s TAH discretionary grant aims to raise student achievement in history, one of the core academic subjects under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Grant awards assist school districts to devise, document, evaluate, and disseminate innovative and cohesive models of professional development that will improve teachers' knowledge of, understanding of, and appreciation for traditional U.S. history. Projects are required to partner with organizations that have broad knowledge of and content expertise in American history, such as libraries, museums, nonprofit historical or humanities organizations, and higher education institutions.
