Time is Running Out 
Have you submitted your Free and Reduced Application? 

Thursday, Oct. 28 is the last day for families to submit their free and reduced application. A key component of the application is that it is used to identify families eligible for funds through the P-EBT program. If you received P-EBT funds in 2020–21 and do not complete the 2021–22 form, you will not be eligible for P-EBT funds or other benefits in 2021–22. 

NOTE:  Breakfast and lunch are still free for all students during the 2021–22 school year. However, we ask all families to complete the application to be eligible for other benefits. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to potentially help your family!
