Foster Care

Anna ISD provides support services for students placed in foster care, including nutrition assistance at school, transportation services, and transition support.

Foster students are entitled to remain in the school where enrolled at the time they entered substitute care until they transition from that building level (elementary to middle or middle to high school) as long as the foster care provider is willing to ensure the student’s transportation. 

Documentation required for enrolling a student who is in Foster Care:

• Foster parents are required upon enrollment to submit a Form 2085E or court order showing the student is in the care and custody of DFPS and has been placed with the person completing the enrollment.

• Students in foster or substitute care must be enrolled immediately even if they lack the required documents.

Information about free/reduced lunch and supplies:

• Students who are enrolled with a Form 2085E or Court Order showing they are in the care and custody of DFPS automatically qualify for free lunch and are coded by Student Services.

• Foster students may qualify for assistance with school supplies. Please contact the Student Services department for more information.
