P-EBT BENEFITS
A message was recently sent to parents in reference to Pandemic-EBT benefits. It is important that we have accurate addresses in PowerSchool for all enrolled students, so you can receive this benefit in the mail. P-EBT is a federal program. The Department of Social Services (DSS), in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE), received approval to operate this program in response to the COVID-19. P-EBT provides food supports to help families with children who were receiving free and reduced-price school meals pay for food. The planned one-time additional benefit is $375 per child enrolled in the free and reduced-price meals program. To receive this benefit, make sure your address is up to date as soon as possible, as the cards will go out by November 15, 2021.
Parents are encouraged to change their address with their child’s school via the school’s Administrative Assistant OR can NOW do so via their PowerSchool account (preferred). In each instance they must provide proof of residency when providing a new address.
