Kentucky has been approved to provide summer P-EBT benefits as offered by the USDA. Please note the following important aspects of the approval:

• All eligible students will receive the same total benefit amount of $375 for the covered summer period. The benefit will be a one-time deposit to the existing cards that should occur in August.
• Summer P-EBT is an “extension” of the 2020-2021 P-EBT benefit, so all students that ended the school year as eligible will automatically receive the benefits, including students that graduated.

All Teams.  It is recommended that all SMS students have: An abundant supply of pencils & paper and a notebook/binder to keep all classes' work organized.  We also highly suggest several pairs of very inexpensive earbuds.  When students receive their class schedules at Open House, there may/may not be a few more recommended, but not required items.  Thank you!
