Boone County Schools Update: Meal Assistance Available

“Due to the government shutdown many families are struggling financially. If your household is affected by the shutdown and you have children in the Boone County School District, you can apply for meal assistance for your child's lunch and breakfast at school. Just go to myschoolapps.com and fill out the application form to check for eligibility.”
— Boone County Schools

In addition, Ockerman Elementary’s Family Resource Center (FRC) is here to support our families during this difficult time.

Our FRC provides assistance through programs such as our Rocket Fuel Pantry (https://ockerman.boone.kyschools.us/o/ockerman/page/rocket-food-pantry), which offers food and essential items for OES families in need.

We also encourage families to visit our Community Resources & Assistance page (https://ockerman.boone.kyschools.us/o/ockerman/page/frc-resources-and-assistance), where you can find:
