Summer EBT

Summer EBT is a federal program to help families purchase food for their school-aged children during the summer. 

If your child is currently eligible for Federal Free or Federal Reduced school meals, your child is automatically eligible and will receive the Summer EBT benefit in June.

If your child is not automatically eligible, and you did not complete a school meals application, please go to www.payschoolscentral.com to fill out an application. Applications need to be filled out no later than April 1, 2026.

If you have moved during the school year, please make sure the district has your correct address on file so you will receive Summer EBT.
