July 5, 2022 Dear Parent/Guardian, Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT) is a federal program designed to provide food support to families with children who were receiving free and reduced-price school meals and missed school for COVID-related absences. It can help families pay for food when students are absent from school due to a COVID-19 related isolation/quarantine. The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), in collaboration with the Department of Human Services (DHS), received approval to operate this program in response to the COVID-19 related school closures for school year 2021-22. To be eligible a student must: ● Qualify for free and reduced priced meal, AND ● Have been absent from school due to COVID-19 isolation/quarantine **Benefits are allowed only on planned school calendar days. Benefits are not allowed on weekends or holidays. For students whose instruction choice was in-person, the households can contact the Dermott Public School District at (870) 538-1000 and complete the Arkansas Parent-Initiated P-EBT Application. The school district will verify the absences, approve the application, and submit the student’s information to DESE. DESE will provide a file for DHS to process the benefit. Anticipated timeline: ● June 23, 2022 – July 29, 2022 – Household to complete the application process and submit to the district ● July 29, 2022 - August 12, 2022 – District to consolidate collected student information and submit spreadsheet to DESE Please Note: The application must be parent–initiated-meaning that the staff at the Dermott Public School District are unable to fill out any/all of the application for your student. Parents must know which days their child (s) were out due to COVID-19 isolation/quarantine, as this is not something that the school can provide. For parents with multiple children, you will need to fill out a form for each child. You can either fill out the application online with the form provided on our Facebook page and Website, or you may fill out a paper application. Paper applications are available to be filled out in the elementary and high school office starting July 5-29 from 8AM-3:30 Monday through Thursday, and from 8-11 on Fridays. All applications(online and paper) must be submitted by July 29, 2022. No applications can be submitted/accepted after that date. If you have questions or need help, contact Stephanie Hinson or Crystal Robinson at (870) 538-1000.
