P-EBT Benefits

We have good news for AASD GAB  GSD families!

The Department of Human Services Division of Family and Children Services in collaboration with the Georgia State University, is issuing P-EBT benefits to families identified as eligible during the 2020-2021 school term. P-EBT is the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT). This is a program authorized by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which aids families with children who temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to school closures, or the reduction of school hours, or attendance capacity, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This benefit will provide extra help to families who normally receive free school meals through participation in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast programs. All families of the AASD GAB GSD students are eligible. 

How it works: 

• Families currently receiving benefits will have the amount preloaded on their existing Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. 
• Families not currently receiving benefits but approved as part of the State Schools, will receive an EBT card mailed to the family within three (3) to four (4) weeks. The card will be sent via US Mail to the address AASD currently has on file. 

All families from the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf will be issued a total of $982.08 which will be distributed to via EBT cards, over several months beginning in mid-December. 

All families from the Georgia Academy for the Blind will be issued a total of $1,222.60 which will be distributed to via EBT cards, over several months beginning in mid-December. 

All families from the Georgia School for the Deaf will be issued a total of $95.48 which will be distributed to via EBT cards, beginning in mid-December.

¡Tenemos buenas noticias para las familias de AASD GAB GSD!

 La División de Servicios para Familias y Niños del Departamento de Servicios Humanos, en colaboración con la Universidad Estatal de Georgia, está emitiendo beneficios P-EBT a las familias identificadas como elegibles durante el período escolar 2020-2021. P-EBT es la transferencia electrónica de beneficios pandémica (P-EBT). Este es un programa autorizado por la Ley de Respuesta al Coronavirus de Families First (FFCRA), que ayuda a las familias con niños que temporalmente perdieron el acceso a comidas escolares gratuitas o de precio reducido debido al cierre de escuelas, o la reducción del horario escolar o la capacidad de asistencia, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. Este beneficio brindará ayuda adicional a las familias que normalmente reciben comidas escolares gratuitas a través de la participación en el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares y los Programas de Desayunos Escolares. Todas las familias de los estudiantes de AASD GAB GSD son elegibles.

Cómo funciona:

Las familias que actualmente reciben beneficios tendrán la cantidad precargada en su tarjeta de Transferencia Electrónica de Beneficios (EBT) existente.
Las familias que actualmente no reciben beneficios pero que están aprobadas como parte de las escuelas estatales, recibirán una tarjeta EBT enviada a la familia dentro de tres (3) a cuatro (4) semanas. La tarjeta se enviará por correo de los EE. UU. A la dirección que AASD tiene actualmente registrada.
Todas las familias de la Escuela para Sordos del Área de Atlanta recibirán un total de $ 982.08 que se distribuirán a través de tarjetas EBT, durante varios meses a partir de mediados de diciembre.

Safety Update

Dear families:

As a result of seeking to be as secure as possible, effectively immediately, the access gates will remain locked throughout the day.  Gates 2, 3, and 5 will be opened from 7 am to 8:30 in the mornings and opened again from 2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoons.  Also, we have a few gate operators assigned to remotely open the gates.  You simply call them by pressing the Gate operator button shown in the picture.Once you are parked, remember to bring your license in order to receive a visitor’s badge.  To enter the Hendricks school building, you will ring the doorbell which is located on the right and left access door to the building.  You press that button and you will gain access to this building where you will sign in and receive a visitor’s badge.

We appreciate your help and patience in this matter.
