How Will Your Student(s) Get Home?

As we prepare for an amazing school year, we're working to finalize our transportation routes and bus rosters. To help us ensure a smooth and safe dismissal process, please take a few moments to complete our Transportation Survey.
The information you provide lets us know how your child will arrive at school and how they will be getting home each day. Having accurate transportation information is essential for creating bus rosters and ensuring every student gets to the right place safely.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete the survey. Your prompt response helps us prepare for a successful start to the school year! Here's the link:

Dear Empower Community School Families,
Below you will find instructions for setting up and adding funds to your student's LINQ account.
LINQ is the system our cafeteria will use for all à la carte purchases, including snacks and other optional food items. Please note that our cafeteria is completely cashless, so students will not be able to use cash or cards to purchase these items.
It is important that you create your student's LINQ account and add funds before the school year begins if you would like your child to have the option to purchase à la carte items.
Please remember that every student will continue to receive one free school meal each day. Adding funds to a LINQ account is only necessary for students who wish to purchase additional à la carte items beyond their free meal.
If you have any questions or need assistance setting up your account, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Thank you for your partnership and support as we prepare for a successful school year!
Sincerely,
Empower Community School
