Pandemic-EBT Benefits for Families
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. To be considered, households must submit an application for free or reduced-price meals for the 2020-2021 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Families who received P-EBT benefits last summer are NOT automatically eligible; eligibility is based on the current school year. Benefits may be retroactive to September 2020, depending on when eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is determined. To ensure you qualify for the most benefits, please submit your application as soon as possible.
If you have received an approval letter for free or reduced-price school meals, please DO NOT complete another application.
To apply, simply go to LunchApplication.com and click “Apply Now”.
The CDC and MDH have updated their guidelines for quarantines after a COVID-19 exposure. Please see the attached letter from our School nurse explaining the changes. The school will begin implementing the changes after the Christmas break
