Title VI

The Title VI program provides services to Native American students. This program was recently renamed Title VI, which was formerly Title VII. These services include tutoring and cultural events. We meet regularly with our families.

Title VI ED 506 Indian Student Eligibility Certification Form

Send us your 506 form! 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 within the Native Ed department and your information will not be shared with outside parties. You only need to fill out this form once if you stay in Reynolds School District. It doesn’t hurt to turn it in again if you are not sure about your program enrollment! Print and turn into your school front office.
