While schools are closed due to COVID-19, families may receive food benefits for eligible children. These food benefits are called Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT), or P-EBT. P-EBT is meant to help families buy meals for their children while schools are closed.

Only students that qualify for free and reduced meals will receive the P-EBT card. Parents should fill out a meal application online -- submit your application today: https://wa1.omsd.net/fma/

In order for your child to receive their benefits without delay, it is important that we have your current mailing address. Please call our main office at 909-984-5618 as soon as possible if your mailing address has changed. If you have students enrolled in other school districts you will need to do the same for each district.

As we plan for our three-year Local Control Accountability Plan and Five-Year Action Plan, we have experienced an unprecedented year together and look forward to planning for in-person academic programs, social-emotional supports, and extracurricular opportunities for students. A direct link to the survey has been sent through email to all families.

You can request the survey link by emailing LCAP@omsd.net or by contacting our main office at Edison to update your email address on file with us.

OMSD schools will provide meals twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Families will receive meals for 3 days on Tuesday and meals for 4 days on Friday. Milk will be provided in half gallons on both days. Meals are provided in bulk so please be prepared to exit your car and pick up your meal bag. Safety is a priority -- we follow strict physical distancing guidelines and require that you wear a face mask.
