Parents Corner:
All Parents, please see the information below regarding College Savings Plan:
ScholarShare 529, California’s College Savings Plan:
Financial preparation is an important part of college readiness. As the cost of pursuing a postsecondary education continues to rise, families need to be aware of all the resources and tools available to help them save so that higher education remains an accessible goal. In recognition of National 529 College Savings Day on May 29, 2021, we are providing important information about ScholarShare 529, a highly successful state program designed to help families save for their children’s future higher education expenses, as well as an upcoming special week-long promotion for students and their schools. We ask that you share this important information with your students’ teachers, parents, guardians, and other interested parties.
529 college savings plans, such as California’s ScholarShare 529 program (named after the section of the Internal Revenue Code in which the plans were established), provide families with a valuable tool that offers a diverse set of investment options; tax-deferred growth; and withdrawals free from state and federal taxes when used for qualified higher education expenses such as tuition and fees, books, certain room and board costs, computer equipment, and other required supplies. Please use the link below for more detailed information.
On April 29th, 2021, the FCC announced that on May 12, 2021, eligible households will be able to apply for the Emergency Broadband Benefit.

Saturday June 12th, will be the next United Way Food Access Saturday. The Food Access Saturday program was originally created to help working individuals & families who need help putting food on their table, but are unable to pick up food at local food distributions during the week. Since it began, the program has grown to encompass a larger population; welcoming others to the table. Through the Food Access Saturday program, anyone who needs food can pick up healthy groceries, including fresh produce. The program is open to all Nevada County residents who cannot make it to other food distributions Monday through Friday. United Way of Nevada County, in partnership with Interfaith Food Ministry (IFM) distributes food on the second Saturday of each month. Since its inception, nearly 3800 bags of food have been distributed to more than 1700 individuals and families. United Way of Nevada County strives to assure individuals and families in Nevada County are able to meet their basic need for food, emergency shelter and access to health care. The distributions take place at 440 Henderson Street, in Grass Valley, from 10am-noon on the 2nd Saturday of each month.
