Parent FAQs

你为什么要我为我的孩子签506表格?

These forms are part of the Title VI federal program that ensures the government is providing quality education for Native students as required by Tribal treaties. Every form increases funding for our program and helps all Native students get academic support and cultural programming. These forms are kept confidential and your information will not be shared with outside parties. Though you only need to submit the form once, it doesn’t hurt to turn it in again if you are unsure.

506 forms should be available in your student’s first day of school take-home packet. Please complete and sign the form and return it according to your student’s school instructions.
