MSO State Assessment Testing
Each student’s testing session is on the back of their letter. Students will enter through the bus ramp gate at ramp 4, where they will have their temperature checked. Students need to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled testing time. Please have students bring their letter with them, as it will serve as their admission ticket. Please remember that testing is mandatory for all students and will be used to determine grade-level placement in classes for next year as well as electives. Future testing assignments will be mailed at a later date. Please note the following guidelines that Pryor will have in place for our MySchool Online students: - All students and test proctors will be required to wear a mask |
Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance for low-income households
The U.S. Treasury has awarded Okaloosa County $6.36 million in emergency rental and utility assistance for low-income households experiencing COVID19 financial hardships. Beginning April 6, 2021, to ensure a successful economic recovery in our area, grant assistance is becoming available for rent, rent arrears, late fees, utilities and utility arrears.
This program is available to renters within Okaloosa County with a household income of 80% or below of the Area Median Family Income (AMI) adjusted for household size. An application for rental and utility assistance may be submitted online at OkaloosaRentalAid.com by an eligible tenant or landlord on behalf of the eligible tenant.
“Our community has faced and overcome many challenges in the past year,” said Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners Chairman, Carolyn Ketchel. “While our local economy is strong, we recognize that this grant will fill an unmet need for those who are still struggling.”
Funding is available for past-due rental and utility assistance from April 2020 to the present. Visit OkaloosaRentalAid.com to learn more about eligibility, required documents, application assistance and to apply online. Funds will be distributed to landlords and utility providers.
