Summer-EBT Information for Food/Nutrition Services

The last few summers the state has offered P-EBT (pandemic-EBT). Starting this summer, the state is participating in Summer-EBT (S-EBT). Parents/Guardians of students who qualify for Free or Reduced price meals through school will be awarded one issuance for the whole summer in the amount of $120, $40 for each month of the summer PER CHILD. They will begin processing payments in mid-June and everyone will have their benefits by July 31st. 

Households currently receiving SNAP benefits will be issued on the families existing Ohio Direction card.

Food Allergy/Special Dietary Needs Form

Does your student have a Food Allergy/Intolerance or Special Dietary needs?

New for the 2024/25 school year, we need you to fill out a Special Diet and Food Allergy Accommodation Form for any student that has a food allergy, special diet or needs a food substitution or accommodation within their school lunch. This does not need to be filled out annually, only when/if information changes. This is different from the Allergy Emergency Action Plan.

We do need this filled out EVEN if you have provided this information previously to your school nurse in another way, such as through registration gateway.

Please submit this form to either Kelsey Warren or your building clinic nurse.
