Are you the parent or legal guardian of a SISD student? Your feedback is incredibly important to us. Please take special notice of the Snyder ISD Parent Survey regarding the At-Home Learning Experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to quickly adapt to a different method of instruction. We learned a lot through this process and are always looking to learn more. This survey should take you less than 5 minutes to complete and will help us learn more about the at-home learning experience. This will also help us prepare for a variety of scenarios for the 2020-2021 school year. This survey will close on June 5, 2020. This an much more can be found in the SISD Weekly Updates Newsletter. https://www.smore.com/m4hz1

Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) is a one-time food benefit for families who lost access to free or reduced-price meals due to school closures. Eligible P-EBT families will receive application instructions from schools in early June. Families who received SNAP benefits for the month of March 2020 and have children 5-18 years old as of May 17, 2020, do not need to apply for those children. These families will receive P-EBT benefits on their current Lone Star Card by May 22. Families with children up to 21 years old who are certified to receive free or reduced-price meals during the 2019-20 school year need to apply for P-EBT. (This includes families who received SNAP benefits for the month of March 2020 and have children under 5 and between 19 and 21.) Your school district will send you a link to an online application by the first week of June. Once HHSC receives the application and verifies your eligibility with the school list, you will receive a Texas P-EBT card in the mail that includes P-EBT funds.
