Parent Update-December 12, 2021

 Hello Little River Community!

Periodic updates are shared each week during the school year regarding school via phone, email, and text. See updates below!

Mark your calendars!

  • December 20-31, Winter Break

  • January 3, 2022, Teacher Workday

News you can use!

  • During Winter Break, continue to be diligent in following the 3Ws for preventing spread: Wear your masks when appropriate, Wait for space, and Wash your hands. Please be reminded of our school COVID protocols here.

  • Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) will be continuing this school year for students and families who qualify. It will not be calculated the same as it was last year.P-EBT is part of the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits loaded on EBT cards that are used to purchase food. Children who would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if their schools were not closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance for at least 5 consecutive days are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits. Students will be reimbursed based on the individual attendance records with the attendance codes of 1D Quarantine and 1R Present Off-Site. The amount provided to each student every month will be determined by the number of 1D and 1R codes multiplied by $7.10 which is the rate. DPS will be pulling data from the start of the year to present to begin to make determinations in compliance with this program.
