What is Pandemic EBT (P-EBT)?
P-EBT is a one-time benefit to help supplement family food costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged school closures.
For households not participating in SNAP whose child(ren) were enrolled in a free or reduced-price (FRP) meals program or attending a CEP school as of March 13, 2020, a P-EBT card will be mailed to the address on file with your child’s school district between July 20th and July 24th. No further action is required on your part to receive your P-EBT benefit.
Who is eligible for P-EBT? Children in Head Start and 4K-12 students enrolled in a free or reduced-price school meals program under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or are enrolled in a school that has opted to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) are eligible to receive P-EBT. Lead Academy IS NOT a CEP school.
Please allow the state to fully issue all P-EBT benefits by August 15th, before inquiring about your benefit status. If you have not received your benefit by August 15th, please email PEBTBenefits@dss.sc.gov.
If we have to wear masks, we might as well look good and show some school spirit while doing it. We will have a limited amount of these Lead Academy masks for sale during Chromebook pickup in a couple of weeks. More info to come.
Sorry for that random link that went out. I think our facebook and app wires were crossed there. disregard.
La escuela está a la vuelta de la esquina. Solo queríamos que todos supieran que enviaremos una comunicación detallada al final de la semana que cubrirá: cómo será el primer día de clases (comenzaremos todo virtual o híbrido), cuándo recoger los Chromebooks y otras necesidades, cuándo llenar el papeleo, conocer al maestro y horarios, semana LEAP, reglas de máscaras, etc. Queremos condensar toda esta información en una comunicación si es posible. Gracias por su paciencia. Nuestro objetivo es tener esto listo para el final del día viernes. No olvide ver la lista de útiles escolares, el calendario y muchos videos el la página de internet: https://www.myleadacademy.com/o/lead-academy/page/covid-19-central
School is right around the corner. We just wanted to let everyone know we will send out a detailed communication by the end of the week covering: What the first day of school will look like (will we start all virtual or hybrid), when to pick up chromebooks and other necessities, when to fill out paperwork, meet the teacher and schedules, LEAP week, mask policies, etc. We want to condense all of this info into one communication if possible so thank you for your patience.

We have received lots of questions about grades K5-2nd and how virtual instruction is different and more challenging at that age group. Mrs. Mitchell, our Director of Academics, joined us today to discuss that topic in a bit more detail and outline our plans to make sure K5-2nd Grade students have a great virtual and in-person experience. https://youtu.be/mIezGqkaSYg
