Each year, the Department of Education asks families to fill out a Family Income Inquiry Form. The Family Income Inquiry Form is a key factor in determining whether PS 99Q is eligible to receive Title I and other funding. For example, Title I provides resources for programs and services to eligible schools.
By submitting this form, you can help ensure that funding PS 99Q is properly calculated for these resources.
Beginning this month, families can complete a Family Income Inquiry Form online at www.myschoolapps.com. Filling out the form online is quick and easy, and only takes a few minutes.
If you prefer not to complete the Family Income Inquiry Form over the summer, the school will send a paper form home in September. It is important that you complete it as soon as possible so funding for the school is properly calculated.
Please note that all information is kept confidential. Federal regulations do not allow the Department of Education to share your information with any other agency.
