An Update to the P-EBT benefit issues.
Within the last week, we have seen some families start to receive the P-EBT benefit cards that were announced by the State of Illinois. Please be patient as EMSD has no control over the delivery or rollout of the cards. We have seen cases where families with multiple children are receiving cards for one or some of the children but not all. We can only reiterate that EMSD has NOT opted out of the program and we are submitting our data as requested and the cards will eventually come for all.
Again, please be patient and be meticulous going through your mail as we have been told that these cards come in a plain white envelope addressed only to the child.
Looking for work (or know someone who is)? We just may have the perfect solution!

Way to go Wildcats!!! You met your third quarter goal of receiving10 or less office referrals. The entire third quarter, we only had 2. This is a huge accomplishment. Today, we celebrated by playing BINGO as a whole school. The UTHS cheerleaders had a special greeting for us this morning as well to cheer us on.
Our 4th quarter goal is the same. We will receive 10 or less office referrals. We know that we can do it! Keep up the good work!
