Dear St. Ignatius Schools Parents and Guardians,
In Summer 2024, the OPI School Nutrition Programs will be participating in the federal Summer-EBT program. In this program, families with children who qualify for free or reduced meals through NSLP (National School Lunch Program) may receive $120 on a preloaded card per eligible child to spend on groceries over the summer.
While students at CEP schools (that's us!!) receive meals at no cost during the school year, the Summer-EBT Program requires individual income determination for each student. If your child(ren) have not been determined as directly certified via SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, Homeless, Runaway, Migrant, Foster Care, or Medicaid. Please fill out an application to apply for Summer-EBT benefits.
To apply, please complete an Application for Free and Reduced-Price School Meals (FRAPP), available here https://dca.opi.mt.gov/FRApp?sponsorNum=0481. Be sure to provide a current address when filling out your application to receive Summer-EBT benefits.
For more information on Summer-EBT or for instructions on completing the application, please visit MT OPI’s website: https://opi.mt.gov/Leadership/Management-Operations/School-Nutrition/Summer-EBT.
Thank you,
St. Ignatius School District #28
