School Lunch Update 7.24.21

July 24, 2021

Dear American Prep Families,

In our first email we forgot to include the great news that meals will be free to all students during the 2021-22 school year!

We still encourage you to submit an application for these reasons: 

  1. Each student who qualifies for Free or Reduced meal benefits will receive $375 on a debit card as part of the summer Pandemic EBT benefit program. Submit your application by August 1, 2021 to secure this benefit for your students.
  2. Qualifying for other programs – you may also choose to apply if you need verification of participation for other programs such as sports, internet access, ACT Testing, farmers market access etc.
  3. We ask ALL parents to fill out an application, even if they do not qualify or plan to participate in the National School Lunch Program. This information is kept confidential and is important to APA as we seek funding for our students.

You may apply online, or with a paper application. Follow this link to apply: https://www.americanprep.org/school-lunch-program/eligibility/ 

Thank you!

************************************

Estimadas familias de American Prep:

En nuestro primer correo electrónico, olvidamos incluir la gran noticia de que las comidas serán gratuitas para todos los estudiantes durante el año escolar 2021-22.

Aún así, lo alentamos a enviar una solicitud por estos motivos:

  1. Cada estudiante que califique para los beneficios de comidas gratis o reducidas recibirá $375 en una tarjeta de débito como parte del programa de beneficios de EBT para la pandemia de verano. Envíe su solicitud antes del 1 de agosto de 2021 para asegurar este beneficio para sus estudiantes.
  2. Calificar para otros programas: también puede optar por presentar una solicitud si necesita verificación de participación en otros programas, como deportes, acceso a Internet, pruebas ACT, acceso al mercado de agricultores, etc.
  3. Les pedimos a TODOS los padres que llenen una solicitud, incluso si no califican o planean participar en el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares. Esta información se mantiene confidencial y es importante para la APA mientras buscamos fondos para nuestros estudiantes.

Puede presentar su solicitud en línea o con una solicitud en papel. Siga este enlace para postularse: https://www.americanprep.org/school-lunch-program/eligibility/ 

¡Gracias!
