A Message to Our Page County Public Schools Community:
A new program will allow PCPS students who are qualified to receive free or reduced price meals to also be eligible for additional assistance through a pandemic EBT program. We do not have all of the specifics or timeline yet, but this project will be in addition to the free meal delivery for all children 18 and under that is already occurring. If your child was already approved for free or reduced price meals, you do not have to do anything. If you were not already qualified for free/reduced price meals, families can still apply online at www.lunchapplication.com or can request a paper application by calling the Central Office (540) 743-6533 ext. 2816 or by e-mailing vjeffries@pagecounty.k12.va.us. If a family was denied free/reduced price meals earlier in the school year, but there has been a change in the household income, the number of people living in the household, or someone in the household is now receiving SNAP or TANF benefits, you may reapply. Those families who have a new address (which has not been previously reported to the school), should contact their home school to make sure it is updated. Please contact the Nutritional Services Office (540) 743-6533 with any questions. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Thank you, and please share.
