PANDEMIC-EBT (P-EBT) BENEFITS INFORMATION:
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Division of Family Resources recently issued Summer 2022 P-EBT benefits.
For up-to-date policy guidance, visit FSSA’s P-EBT Website: https://www.in.gov/fssa/dfr/dfr-policy-changes-and-actions/pandemic-ebt/
Households that have current cards should have seen benefits added to the card as of Monday, July 18. FSSA’s online system has been overwhelmed by the number of requests for new or replacement cards and is experiencing delays in response times. Response time is currently around two weeks from the date of initial submission. FSSA has requested that once a household has completed the request online, they do not complete a duplicate request.
ADDRESS CHANGE and CARD REPLACEMENT REQUEST FORM: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ur-ZIQmkE0-wxBi0WTPYjUYZwBWqOfNBtFHnneN0VZ9UMlhHS0UzT1FDOFFVUElXTDdOVFdRRE9RMS4u
ELIGIBILITY:
1) Students within all PCSC schools were eligible for this benefit if a Free/Reduced application was completed and the student qualified for free or reduced lunch status as of Saturday, May 1; 2) ALL Students within WES and PES were eligible, since these schools meet the criteria for Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools.

Our staff has been working hard this summer to prepare for the coming year and are excited to return in August for the 2022-2023 school year. We know that many of you are ready to begin your school year preparations by completing student registration, which will be available in Harmony starting JULY 28, 2022.
Registration of returning students is completed online, through your existing Harmony Family Access Portal. Online registration eliminates the need for in-person appointments, unless you would like assistance or have a new student to enroll.
Registration Information and instructions, including password recovery, related links, and the dates and times for in-person registration, are on our website at https://www.pcsc.k12.in.us/page/student-registration
Please be aware that each school may release additional information about beginning-of-year activities, that is specific to their building and of interest to you and your family.
We hope you are enjoying the final weeks of Summer Break!
Thank you!

An updated version of PCSC's 2022-2023 Calendar is shown below and posted on our website.
*These changes were made to add 5 built-in snow days to our calendar, in response to recent Indiana legislation that restricts the use of eLearning days.
**To ensure the students and parents of the Class of 2023 can plan for graduation and graduation-related events without the risk of make-up snow days impacting these plans, the date for PCHS's graduation ceremony has been moved to June 2, 2023.
