Pandemic-EBT, or P-EBT, is returning to Colorado for the 2021-2022 school year! P-EBT provides eligible families with school-aged children with extra funds to help buy food when schools were remote or hybrid due to COVID-19.

There is no separate application for P-EBT this school year. Families eligible for free or reduced-price school meals at schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program may get up to $136.40 per month per student for remote learning models and up to $81.84 per month per student for hybrid learning models.

Families are encouraged to fill out an application for free or reduced-price school meals at their school office or website by the end of the school year. Benefits will begin to be issued starting in late May. Eligible families already participating in SNAP can expect to have P-EBT benefits automatically loaded to their current EBT card in late May. Newly eligible families will receive a new P-EBT card in the mail between late May and mid-June. In order to receive a new P-EBT card, families should ensure address information is up to date. To update household address information, families can contact their school or district.

Beneficios de EBT de la pandemia, o P-EBT, ¡regresa a Colorado para el año escolar del 2020-2021! P-EBT proporciona dinero a familias con niños de edad escolar elegibles con fondos extras para comprar comida mientras escuelas están funcionando de manera híbrido o remoto debido a COVID-19.

No hay ninguna solicitud separada para P-EBT este año escolar. Las familias elegibles para comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido en las escuelas que participan en el Programa Nacional de Almuerzo Escolar pueden obtener hasta $136.40 por mes por estudiante para modelos de aprendizaje remoto y hasta $81.84 por mes por estudiante para modelos de aprendizaje híbridos.

Se anima a las familias a llenar una solicitud de comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido en su oficina escolar o sitio web lo más antes posible y antes del final del año escolar. Los beneficios comenzarán a emitirse a partir de finales de mayo.

Las familias recién elegibles recibirán una nueva tarjeta de P-EBT a su hogar por correo entre finales de mayo y mediados de junio.

Para actualizar la información de la dirección del hogar, las familias pueden comunicarse con su escuela o distrito.

Today we celebrate two of our super educators at Sable. Congratulations to Ms. Wendi and Ms. Barb!

Ms. Wendi is Sable’s Speech Pathologist. She is consistent, relatable, and always positive. Ms. Wendi is a teacher to our students but also teaches and builds understanding among our teachers and parents; she is professional yet down to earth. Ms. Wendi always puts students first; she harmoniously helps parents understand the important parts of an IEP by presenting information in a way that highlights the critical pieces but also makes it easy for families and teachers to understand.

Ms. Barb is Sable’s Clerk. She is phenomenal, supportive, and our Infinite Campus Wizard. Ms. Barb is calm, never seems to get upset by our endless requests for anything and everything. She gives sweet and gentle reminders…even if we habitually forget to enter attendance. She is willing to help our whole community find things we need to be comfortable and successful…in fact she rarely ever says no. Ms. Barb helps us maintain our basic needs from bathroom break reminders to snacks, she is the glue that holds this place together.

We are so fortunate to have them both!

As we continue with remote learning, we want to ensure that our students have the resources they need to be successful. This includes having access to an internet connection at home. I want to remind you about several low-cost internet services available for families.

Low-income families can sign up for 60 days of FREE Comcast Internet Essentials service. After the 60 days, qualified households will pay $9.95 per month. Even if you have an outstanding balance with Comcast, you may still be eligible, if you apply before December 31. Contact Comcast for more information.

You can also access the internet through Comcast public hotspots for free.

In addition, families on a limited income can save money with Lifeline services from CenturyLink. This government assistance program can help you save on your monthly local phone service or qualifying internet service. Lifeline provides a discount of $9.25 on monthly service for qualified subscribers.

A medida que continuamos con el aprendizaje en línea (remoto), queremos asegurar que nuestros estudiantes tengan los recursos que necesitan para lograr el éxito. Esto incluye tener acceso a una conexión a Internet en casa. Les queremos recordar sobre varios servicios de Internet de bajo costo que están disponibles para las familias.

Las familias de bajos recursos pueden inscribirse para recibir hasta 60 días de servicio de Comcast Internet Essentials GRATIS. Después de los 60 días, las familias que califiquen pagarán $9.95 por mes. Aún si tienen un saldo pendiente con Comcast, pueden ser elegibles si presentan la solicitud antes del 31 de diciembre. Comuníquense con Comcast para obtener más información.

Comcast también ofrece puntos de acceso “wifi” públicos para que usted pueda tener acceso gratuito al internet.

Además, las familias con recursos limitados pueden ahorrar dinero con el servicio Lifeline de CenturyLink.
