Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer Program for School Year 2021-2022
Florida has been approved to implement a Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program for the 2021-2022 School Year. The P-EBT program is a supplemental benefit for households with students who temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to COVID-related absences. Parents and guardians of students who meet the eligibility criteria should apply for P-EBT benefits for the 2021-2022 School Year. The application for P-EBT benefits can be accessed through the Florida Department of Children and Families website.
Once the application has been completed, parents and guardians will need to print or email the application and the school must confirm the student’s COVID-related absences. Once the application has been certified through the student’s school, the parent or guardian of the student must submit the certified application through the P-EBT application portal, which can be accessed on the Florida Department of Children and Families website. Once received, the Florida Department of Children and Families will review the information and issue the appropriate P-EBT benefits to the parents or guardians.
If you have any questions, please contact the P-EBT Call Center 1-833-311-0321.

Message from the Superintendent – May 25, 2022
Dear Parents, Staff and Community Members,
It is heartbreaking to be writing to you today about the tragedy of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tx. This horrific act incites fear and insecurity in us all. I am so appreciative of the partnership that exists between the school district and our local law enforcement agencies, the St. Johns Sheriffs Office and the St. Augustine Police Department. Our schools are safer due to their support and expertise and our collaborative relationship.
This is a message that I never want to deliver especially during a time when we are celebrating the amazing accomplishments of our students. We will have increased presence of law enforcement in and around our schools as we close out the school year.
Together,
Tim Forson
Superintendent of Schools
St. Johns County School District
