Dear Parent/Guardian:
Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, families that qualify for free or reduced lunch at school may be eligible for a new benefit of up to $302 per child (PreKindergarten – Grade 12), known as the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program, to help with food costs while students continue to learn at home.
The benefits include:
If you are eligible, the benefit months you are eligible for will be loaded onto an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. If you received Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, DO NOT apply for these new/additional benefits. The full $302 will automatically be loaded to your existing EBT card. If you need more information on SNAP, visit mydss.mo.gov.
If you did not receive Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, you must apply for this benefit and complete all sections of the application. An individual child is also eligible for the new benefit if the child was attending a school that participates in Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), Provision 2, or Provision 3 during the unanticipated school closure. If you are not sure your child attended an eligible school, you should contact the school district the child attends before you apply. If you do not want to receive this benefit, you do not need to apply. To find out if you may be eligible, please see Attachment A.
Resource Parents qualify to receive P-EBT, as Foster Care children receive free lunch. If you are a Resource Parent who wants to receive these benefits, you will also need to complete the application.

Your card will have the one-time benefits loaded on the EBT card to purchase food at any retailer with the QUEST Mark ® logo.

Based on responses from our recent parent/guardian survey, approximately 65% of our primary and intermediate families have requested a summer school learning opportunity be made available to students. We appreciate the feedback given to us by our Wildcat families and we are working to provide both a quality and safe summer school experience.
In accordance with the CDC and the Barry County Health Department, Cassville Schools will follow health and safety guidelines based on established state and federal re-opening recommendations.

K-6 students will have the opportunity to attend activities at the Cassville Aquatic Center. This will be done on a rotation to allow plenty of room for students to maintain distance, thus, each child will not visit the pool every week. At this time, the aquatic center is the only scheduled field trip.
First grade students will be participating in the YMCA Water Safety program. These students will be given more information about this program from their classroom teachers.
Health and Safety Guidelines:
