Homeless Students
Panorama Schools provides services to students, regardless of their living situation, so they are prepared to come to school and learn every day. It is a priority of Panorama Schools that a homeless student's education is not interrupted. The district works with families to overcome barriers that may prevent a student from coming to school every day, ready to learn. The school district follows the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act. Homeless students, or students in transition, are given access to the same public education that is provided to other children.
