Registration & 506 Forms When registering your child, please make sure that your child's

information is up to date and correct. We often find that we

have students misidentified who have a 506 form (Native

American eligibility form) on file. If you are submitting a 506

form, you should also verify that your child is being self-

identified as Native American. We also find that we have many

students identified as Native American who do not have a 506

form on file. If you are not sure if you have a 506 form on file,

please call Charity Hill, Native American Program Coordinator

at (716) 816-3371. We can check and

answer any questions you may have.

Parent/Student Committee Your voice is important in your child’s education. Please

consider joining us at the next Native American Parent/

Student Committee Meeting. Should you have any

questions, please email: bpsna19@gmail.com .

Native American History

January 20, 1830

Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha) dies.

Red Jacket was born to the Wolf Clan

and was given the name Otetiani

(“He is Prepared”) and took the name

Sagoyewatha (“He Causes them to be

Awake”) when he became a chief. His

English name, Red Jacket, came from the scarlet

coat given to him by the English for fighting on their

side during the Revolutionary War.
