**Funds for Groceries Available!**

Families that qualify for free/reduced meals might also be eligible for Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) funds!! In order to meet one of the qualifications to receive these additional P-EBT funds, families MUST first have an approved free or reduced meal application on file. If you have not submitted an application yet, please consider doing so by going to MySchoolApps.com or visiting the EWSD Child Nutrition website for more information on qualifying.


If you already have an approved application on file from last school year or this school year, you do not need to submit another application.


For more information please visit this list of frequently asked questions on P-EBT benefits.


If you have questions about the free and reduced meal application, please contact the EWSD Child nutrition office at childnutrition@ewsd.org.
