Come Join Us! Verona is planning to hold summer school starting June 15-July 14 with hours 8:00-3:15, Mon-Thurs. Breakfast will be served starting at 7:30. We are working with Barry and Lawrence county health departments in order to keep our students and faculty healthy. Every student will need to provide their own water bottle with their name, community water fountains will not be available. Students will be able to refill bottles at school if needed. We will work on staying safe and washing our hands regularly. Also, no one will be allowed at school with a fever. The only field trips able to be planned at this time is “possible” trips on Thursdays to the Aurora pool, pending park procedures. We will be focused on covering content lost or weakened due to the closure of schools 3 months early. If you have not enrolled your students, please call the offices Tuesday between 9-2.

Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, families that qualify for free or reduced price meals at school may be eligible for a new one-time Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) of up to $302 per child (Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 12) to help cover the cost of meals students have eaten at home on days that schools have been closed. Students can receive P-EBT benefits even if they have been or continue to receive meals provided by the school district during the school closure. If your child was not previously eligible for free or reduced price meals, but you have now lost income, you may be eligible to receive P-EBT benefits (review the P-EBT Eligibility Criteria document below).
The benefit is placed on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card families use to buy food. If you received Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, do not apply for these new/additional benefits. The full $302 will automatically be loaded to your existing EBT card. If you did not receive Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, you must apply for this benefit by June 30, 2020 (see below).
The most efficient way to apply is to submit your application online at EmergencyMealSurvey.com/MO. You will also likely experience a faster approval process.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) will send families a letter indicating they are approved or denied. If you have questions on how to apply for the P-EBT benefit, contact DSS through the online chat feature at mydss.mo.gov or call 855-373-4636. For more information on the EBT card, visit: mydss.mo.gov/food-assistance/ebt.

Good evening! This is a reminder that junior high and high school students should plan to turn-in their Chromebooks to the school on Monday and Tuesday. A schedule was sent out last week. You will be allowed to come in through the front door one at a time and exit through the library. There will be stations set-up, including one to make sure you have filled out the schedule survey for next year. Please maintain social distancing. We look forward to seeing you.

The 8th grade promotion will be held at a later date to be determined as social gatherings requirements allow. I will keep The 8th grade posted through your school email and posting it on social media. I’m so proud of the hard work the 8th graders have done this year and I am looking forward to all of us being able to celebrate that hard work soon!
