Some families have received P-EBT cards for their child from the State as part of COVID food relief. One glitch is that it asks for the last 4 digits of your child's social security number. However, when you input that number, it tells you it is incorrect information. What you actually need to do is input "0000" and it should work. We hope this is helpful to you.
We hope you enjoy the first Jr/Sr High Comets Lead newsletter! You can find this newsletter on the Daily Announcements page, alongside other information that is updated daily to keep students and families informed! https://www.colemanschools.net/page/daily-announcements
