The new school year is just a few weeks away, and we want all of our Owls to feel prepared and supported from day one! If your student qualifies for reduced or waived school fees, they are also eligible for Erie UpLink’s Tiger Packs program. Tiger Packs are confidential, need-based, and available to students who live in Erie, Colorado or attend an Erie High School feeder school (like Aspen Ridge). These monthly packs include kid-friendly, nonperishable food items and are delivered directly to students' homes on the Wednesday before school breaks—helping bridge the food gap for families facing financial challenges. If your child attends Aspen Ridge but does not live in Erie, no problem! Tiger Packs can be picked up at school each month.
Families can register for Tiger Packs at www.erieuplink.org/tiger-packs-program. Please note that registration must be completed each school year, even if your child received Tiger Packs in the past.
In addition, students who qualify for reduced or waived fees may also request a Supplies for Success Backpack, which includes essential school supplies to start the year strong. To request a backpack, please email Celine Todd at ctodd@aspenridgeprepschool.org. Backpacks are limited and will be distributed to eligible students on a first-come, first-served basis.
Every Owl deserves a strong start—and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way!
