What is a SPF (School Placement Form)?

A School Placement Form is provided to all awarded students by Serving Our Children. Guardians of those awarded students must sign section 1 of the form and submit to the school where their student has applied and been accepted. Once the form is received by the school from the guardian, the school must complete section 2 and return to Serving Our Children . Every enrolled D.C. OSP Student must have a completed and submitted SPF before the school can invoice Serving Our Children for enrolled students.

Remember The Three S’s…
