Kalama School District families may qualify to receive a free ASB card for school program activities and athletics, as well as a Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) card, which helps to cover the cost of groceries.
To determine eligibility, families must fill out a Free & Reduced Lunch form and then drop it off at the District Office. Completed forms can also be mailed to the office or emailed to laurie.merwin@kalama.k12.wa.us.
The district is encouraging families to submit their form prior to April 1, 2021 in order to maximize their benefit amount.
If you have questions about eligibility or the form itself, please give us a call at 360.673.5282.
