A message from the Cafeteria!
Dear Parents,
I’m sure that you know that all children’s meals are being taken care
of this year through generous donations. I would also like to point out
that anything extra must be paid for like an extra fruit, milk, juice, or
entrée. If you would like for your child to be able to have extras, money
must be put on their account or they may pay in cash. If you have any
questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me through
email or by phone.
Thank you,
Lisa Jamison

Dear Highland County Public School Families:
This is an update regarding questions we have received about summer Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits.
The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) has recently made us aware that many households did not receive summer P-EBT benefits due to a card processing error. We have been informed that affected households will be issued a new P-EBT card and that all cards should be received no later than September 30.
If you recently received a P-EBT card that is not working, a replacement card is already on the way. You do not need to take any action to report your invalid card. VDSS has identified the households affected by this error. Please do not contact the P-EBT call center to order another card, as this may further delay the processing of your benefits.
We understand this delay has been frustrating and want to assure you that we are in communication with VDSS to ensure the issue is fixed as quickly as possible. Schools are not able to provide answers to your P-EBT questions. Please visit PEBTVA.com for the latest information and guidance concerning P-EBT.
