Williams Unified School District #2

FAFSA Night. On March 30th from 5:30-7 pm at WHS we will be having a FAFSA Night (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Experts will be here to help students and their Parents/Guardians fill out their FAFSA. Anyone attending any type of school after graduation HAVE to fill this out and it can lead to a federal Pell Grant of up to $6,500 per year that the student attends, Work Study, or Stafford Student Loan eligibility. I suggest that every family fill this out just to see what type of federal aid they can expect if your student decides to attend a Community College, University, or Trade School as the Pell Grant alone could cover some or even all of your student's educational expenses. Things you should bring to FAFSA Night: FSA ID for both student and parent (your student should know how to get this. This can be done during FAFSA Night also, 2021 taxes (paper, digital, or have access to them online), Social Security Numbers for student and parent, Date of birth for student and parent, and date of parent's marriage or divorce. It's not too late to decide to get additional training after high school and this may just give you the financial answers you need to make that decision. Please contact our Career/College Counseling Intern Alejandra Case at ac3477@nau.edu with any questions. Mr. Powers

WEMS will be getting some renovations as well this summer! Thanks to ESSER II dollars (not our regular budget), WEMS will be receiving new HVAC units with air ionization. District-wide, WUSD # 2 will also receive EMS Smart Controls for all HVAC units, conserving energy, being greener, & saving local taxpayer money. WEMS units are 18 years old with an avg. life expectancy of 15 years. We hope to secure a SFB project in the near future for HVAC at WHS. Stay tuned! Great things are happening at WUSD # 2! More to come!
