P-EBT Tracker
This program will determine if students qualify for P-EBT Hybrid or Virtual status per month.
- Tips before running
Make sure sponsor records have program code 49 checked for CEP schools.
Check your schools current hybrid and virtual codes in the custom code fast loader. This program will allow you to adjust begin and end dates to match your actually usage if the schools did not update the data.
If you do not use our MAPS system you should review the mailing addresses.
If using our MAPS system make sure to clear up your Questionable Address List for most accurate entries.
- Tips for easier coding
The custom codes fast loader program has a "Add" column to put additional codes on students
You 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 you can choose the custom and special codes your 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
- To export the generated results you will click the "Export" button and choose the "CSV" option. You can then upload the CSV file to the FTP site.
Tips for communicating
JCall can be used to help update parents on the EBT situation.
You can use School Notes to provide detailed instructions in the SPC.
SPC shows the student local id (JCampus sidno) which will be used for the PIN number on the EBT cards.
You can also use the login screen message to guide parents on EBT card usage.
Report cards also show the student local id.
