Dear Parent or Guardian, The deadline to apply for P-EBT food benefits has been extended to July 31. Please review the criteria to see if your family is eligible and needs to apply for benefits. Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) is a one-time benefit for eligible families to buy food. Immigration status does not matter when applying for P-EBT. The public charge rule does not apply to P-EBT benefits. P-EBT is for children 5-18 years old who received SNAP food benefits for the month of March 2020. P-EBT is also for children up to 21 years old who are certified for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program at school during the 2019-20 school year. Children that attend a school that offers free meals to all students (Community Eligibility Provision or Provision 2) are also eligible. • Fill out an application here: https://yourtexasbenefits.com/Learn/PEBT (the URL is case-sensitive)

If you are interested in the certified veterinary assistant program please email Mr. Brown at tbrown@oakwood isd.net . I am trying to get a headcount of all students that wish to participate. You must be 14 by October 1st in order to start the program this school year.
