FORT TOWSON

Fort Towson Public Schools Parents/Guardians,

Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) is a program that helps children who would have received free or reduced-price meals at school but schools were forced to go to virtual learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting as soon as Friday, September 17^th students who qualify will receive a debit card preloaded with funds that can be used for groceries. Students who are eligible will receive a P-EBT benefits card equivalent to $6.82 per day for school days in which the student was enrolled in a participating school AND received virtual instruction/distance learning. No benefits will be issued for those days in which the student received in-person instruction or was counted absent from virtual instruction.

For the 2020-21 school year, schoolchildren must meet two important eligibility requirements: 

• Children must have been enrolled in a school district that participates in a federal meal program where meals are served at a school, and 
• Children must qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on income and have turned in the free or reduced-priced meals application to school for 2020-21, OR be enrolled in a school that participated in the Community Eligible Provision, Provision 2 or Provision 3 federal program in 2020-21 which is what Fort Towson Public Schools participated in.

 There is no application process for these benefits. Families will receive benefits automatically if their school has identified to the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) that a student qualifies.  

To learn more about eligibility requirements, what role your school plays in the program, and other details about P-EBT, OSDE developed a set of Frequently Asked Questions.

2021-2022 Boys and Girls Club Application

At this time The Boys & Girls Club has reached it maximum capacity.  Any student on the waitlist will be accepted ONLY if space becomes available at a later date. 

Applications for the current school year must be on file and approved before your child/children are able to attend.  

Applications may be returned to Ashley Burton in the Central Office or emailed to aburton@forttowson.k12.ok.us

Elementary students who were enrolled in the club at the end of last year will be given priority over new applicants.  If students participated in the club at the end of last school year, they will be guaranteed a spot once the application is turned in.  New applicants will be processed as soon as possible; if your child is accepted, you will be contacted by phone. 

If your child was not enrolled in our Boys & Girls Club at the end of last school year, please do NOT send them to the after school program until your student has been approved and you have been contacted by Mrs. Burton. 

We will fill empty slots if they open up throughout the year.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

For questions, please contact Mrs. Ashley Burton at 580-873-2712 ext. 104
