Mountainburg is a special provisions school (CEP). ALL students in Mountainburg Public Schools are eligible for the Summer P-EBT and parents do not need to do anything. Benefits will be issued to all our students in the timeline DHS determines.

You Asked, We Deliver!
Through Apptegy, the company we contract with for our district website and app, has provided us with a communication feature through the DragonsLink App called Rooms.
- Download the DragonsLink App through your phone's app store.
- If the email on file in E-School is correct, you will receive an email invite from edurooms to join Rooms once we have everything established.
As with anything new, we will all need to learn how to use this feature. But it is a good learning curve for all because in the end, it means success for our students.
