In light of all the questions we are receiving about the P-EBT programs we thought we should share this information with our district families. We hope it helps clear up some of the confusion.
There are two P-EBT programs:
School year (2021-22) P-EBT which only applies to on campus students only. They will receive funds of $7.10 for each day they missed in school instruction because they were quarantined/isolated or school was closed due to covid. Forms were mailed out to families and online forms posted which families could choose which one to fill out by July 29th and return them to the school. The school will then match that information with the attendance records in eschool and send that to the state. Then the state will send out the P-EBT funds to the families who qualified.
Summer P-EBT which applies to all students in our district because we are a provision two school, which means all students are coded as eligible to receive free/reduced lunches. There is nothing that the families need to do at this time for this program. Each student should receive a P-EBT card with $391 loaded onto it. This will come directly from the state and does not go through the school district.
Everyone who qualifies for P-EBT will receive a new card issued to the family by mail in the student’s name. The cards will be mailed in a plain white envelope addressed to the student. Families should keep the new P-EBT card until all benefits have been issued.
Deer & Mt. Judea Open House will be on August 11th
Deer: 5:00 - 6:00 PM
Mt. Judea 6:00 - 7:00 PM
First day of school is August 15th
