P-EBT Tracker

This program will determine if students qualify for P-EBT Hybrid or Virtual status per month.

*Tips before running

Make sure the Sponsor Site Editor on the "Programs Offered" tab, has the program code of 49 checked for CEP schools.

Check the schools current hybrid and virtual codes in the Custom Code Fast Loader. This program will allow the user to adjust begin and end dates to match the actual usage if the schools did not update the data.

If the district does not use our MAPS system, then the user should review the mailing addresses.

If using our MAPS system, make sure to clear up the Questionable Address List for most accurate entries.

*Tips for easier coding

The Custom Code Fast Loader program has a "Add" column to put additional codes on students.

The user can create custom codes for "PEBTH" for hybrid and "PEBTV" for virtual. Use these codes like an override for times when everyone was virtual or hybrid along with begin and end dates.

Custom codes can overlap. The program will always look for a way to make the student virtual (for max benefit).

*On the setup box, choose the custom and special codes that the district uses for hybrid and virtual designation. The program uses the following logic to determine qualifying students per month:

If student is Free, Reduced or attending CEP school in the month then,

Student is coded in special or custom codes as Virtual within the month.

Student is coded in special or custom codes as Hybrid within the month.

If the Student has a bell and if the bell has any virtual days within the month.

Student has program codes for Quarantine or Homebound within the month.

Student has attendance code for Quarantine or Virtual Present within the month

Calendar Editor is also consulted for instructional days. To determine the number of instructional days per school, per month: If the number of days > 17 then use the chart form (1-8 days are hybrid & >=9 is virtual). If the days are <=17 then if 50% of day count is virtual instruction then code as Virtual else 1-49% is hybrid.

Tips for communicating

JCall can be used to help update parents on the EBT situation.

Use the School Notes to provide detailed instructions in the SPC.
