FAFSA Information for Senior Students and Parents!!
The 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) cycle – including availability of the online FAFSA for all students – has opened, and the FAFSA Processing System (FPS) is transmitting 2026-27 FAFSA results to colleges. Students (and any contributors, if applicable) who successfully submitted the 2026-27 FAFSA form during the fall 2025 beta testing period do not need to resubmit it.
Visit the Applying for Financial Aid section of the e-Library for information about the 2026-27 application cycle.
The 2026-27 Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application) is also available (in English and Spanish). Further details are provided at ISAC's Retention of Illinois Students & Equity (RISE) Act page.
The Financial Aid Planning area has resources to help college-bound students complete the financial aid process.
Financial Aid Application Completion Initiative
All Illinois public high school students are required to complete either the FAFSA or the Alternative Application as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. See ISAC's Financial Aid Application Completion Initiative page for more information.
Students and/or parents who choose to not complete either the FAFSA or the Alternative Application may complete the Financial Aid Application Nonparticipation Form. The 2025-26 Nonparticipation Form (used to opt-out of the 2026-27 applications) can be submitted online via the Program Applications & Status Checks page of the ISAC Student Portal. A Student Portal account is required to complete and sign the Nonparticipation Form.
This month at Greenfield Elementary, we’ve been focusing on the TIGERS trait of Integrity — doing the right thing even when no one is watching, being honest, and showing strong character. We are proud of our September Students of the Month, who have consistently demonstrated integrity in the classroom, hallways, and beyond.
👏 Congratulations to these outstanding Tigers! Your choices and character make a difference in our school community, and we are proud to celebrate you.
Today, your child is bringing home a Book Buddy Lanyard, letting you know about a safe and easy way for our school to raise funds for essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed.
The SchoolStore Program is 100% online so there is NO face-to-face selling, handling money, or delivering products. Your participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for your students.
Here is all you need to do to participate:
1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000018651 to sign up.
2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child.
3. Return the Book Buddy Lanyard with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize.
Be sure to ask your child for the Book Buddy Lanyard tonight. Your participation will make a difference for our school and teachers!
Thanks,
Courtney Meyer
