Filling out this form helps families in various ways as well as helps us to qualify for additional funding at Shelton. Staff will be available to help with the completion of this application if needed on the first day of school. Thank you for your help by completing this application.
We look forward to collaborating with you to best support your child(ren). Please consider how to engage with our community in whatever method works best for you and your family. We all have special ways to support our children, families, and community. I am honored to be able to work with you this year and for many years to come.
Please say hello and introduce yourself so I can get to know you and your family so I can better serve you. Please reach out with any questions you may have. See you soon!
Kind Regards,
Tracy Krug
