Applications for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Card opens on Monday, June 1st - June 30th. You can apply at https://benefind.ky.gov/

The (P-EBT) program provides a benefits card families can use to buy food to replace free school breakfast and lunch while schools were closed. Families who already receive food stamps/SNAP and direct certification do not have to apply. Those benefits are automatically sent to the families.

Families who do not receive any state or federal assistance are also eligible to apply because WC is a Community Eligible Provision district which provides free breakfast and lunch to ALL students.

If students, parents or community members know of an unsafe situation in school (e.g, bullying, weapons, drugs/alcohol, etc.), they can anonymously pass on that information to school personnel by using this basic email format.
