Dear Parents and Guardians,
While we are happy to still be able to serve all our students free breakfast right now, lunch has returned to the regular prices. If your student(s) are not approved for free meals, it is important to make sure they have money on their meal accounts. Those approved for reduced meals, need to pay $.40 per lunch, and those on full pay status must pay $2.35 in the elementary and $2.60 in the junior/senior high per lunch. You may check your student(s) meal accounts balance through Skyward.
Many of our students are already near the charge limit of $10.00. When your student reaches the $10.00 charge limit, they will be served a cheese sandwich and milk at a cost of $1.85. We do not want to have to serve any child a cheese sandwich, and we are certain you do not want your child to be served a cheese sandwich. So please, send money in as soon as possible if your student has a negative or low meal account balance.
If you feel you may qualify for free or reduced priced meals, please complete a free and reduced application through Skyward or request one be mailed to you by contacting me at 765-963-2560 ext. 1172 or by email at twyant@tccs.k12.in.us.
Thank you,
Tami Wyant

Dear Parent or Guardian,
The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) distributed summer 2022 Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits on Monday, July 18. As FSSA continues to work through the extremely high volume of requests for replacement cards, please note the following.
The Division of Family Resources has received tens of thousands of requests for P-EBT replacement cards.
Benefits were applied to cards issued January 2021 or later. If you have multiple cards, please call the phone number on the back of the card to check the balance on each card before submitting a request for a replacement.
Only one card per student can be active at a time. If a request is entered that a card be replaced, the previously sent card is inactivated and can no longer be used.
The process for assigning new cards requires FSSA staff to manually review each request for a replacement card. There will be a delay between when the request is submitted online and when the request is reviewed by a staff member.
Cards are not stored in or mailed from FSSA offices. Cards are mailed from a secure card facility in the same way a replacement debit or credit card is sent. There is a delay between when the replacement request is reviewed by FSSA staff and when the card is mailed from the secure card facility.
It is likely that card replacements will take up to 6 weeks or longer. Submitting multiple requests significantly slows the process of completing replacement requests.
You can find general information about P-EBT on the FSSA P-EBT website: https://www.in.gov/fssa/dfr/dfr-policy-changes-and-actions/pandemic-ebt/
Your patience and cooperation is appreciated!
