This FAFSA tool can help students and parents determine which parent counts as the parent on the FAFSA form. Knowing this before the application opens on Dec 1st can help you be ready with all the proper information when the application goes live.

The 2025-2026 FAFSA will open on Dec 1st. There are some things that you can be doing now to be prepared when it opens. The first is all students need to create an account. Parents also need an account, but if you have one from a previous child, then you use that account. Parents DO NOT make more than one account.

Here is a scholarship opportunity for Seniors that are planning to go into education or a business related field. The deadline for applying is Jan 10th. With the craziness of the Holidays I would encourage students to get their applications submitted as soon as possible. If they have any questions please see Mrs. Hubert or Mrs. Aurand.

The East Elementary Halloween Parade will be at 8:15 am this morning. The route will be shorter due to the weather and hopefully still allow space for all who want to see the students in their costumes.
Students will begin the route going West on the 'North' sidewalk of 18th Street. They will turn south on the inside sidewalk of N Street on the square, the West/Courthouse/library side. The students will then head North on N Street on the outside sidewalk in front of Cunningham and the Telescope and then East on 18th Street.
A group of Republic County Seniors has researched and put together an online voter guide about important issues regarding the 2024 Presidential Election. Take a look at the website and the corresponding social media accounts.
