Classroom Grants Application

Each fall and spring, teachers and staff may apply for Classroom Grants for programs and activities that go beyond the school District’s budget. Requests must have a focus to enhance student learning by providing new and innovative educational experiences. 

All applicants must review the Classroom Grant Guidelines prior to submitting application.
