Delivery meals: Six MNPS school buses are delivering to locations throughout Nashville where students are able to pick up the meals. The routes, including locations and approximate times, are available here.

It is important for families to complete the 2020 Census Survey because information gathered impacts how much money schools receive in Title I funding. Children not counted in our district could negatively impact funding for the next 10 years. It is critical that as many households in Nashville as possible submit the forms.
|
|
Families are encouraged to fill out and submit the census information. The census can be submitted online, via phone, or mail. It is also crucial to note that information identifying individuals is not supposed to be shared with other government agencies.
