Attention Dumas School District Parents:
Dumas School District is a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) denoted school.
1.) This means that during the day (at school) all kids eat free regardless of income/etc.
2.) Because our school is CEP, any household that received SNAP or EBT WILL automatically receive $40 per child per 3 month summer period as a summer nutrition bonus.
3.) For households NOT receiving SNAP or EBT benefits already, but would like to see if your child/children qualifies because you are under the "CEP umbrella because of the school", you CAN fill out the application to see if your child/children will receive the summer benefit. They will verify income to determine yes/no.
Letters and applications will be sent home. Applications can be turned in at a DHS Local County Office or emailed to SummerEBT@dhs.arkansas.gov . Please contact a DHS Local County Office with any questions regarding the Summer EBT program.
Please help me congratulate the following students for earning the Arkansas Seal of Biliteracy!! It really takes a skill for our students to earn this skill and honor. This seal recognizes that these students can read, write and speak in languages other than English. This is our second group this year. We had a group last Fall and now this group.
Broughton, Kendri (10th), Trujillo, Kimberly (11th), Ramirez, Noe (11th)
Not Pictured: Cendejas, Hector (12th), Lopez, Alejandra (12th)
ALSO, congratulate these 9th graders for earning the score on the STAMPS assessment. The assessment measures their proficiency in other languages than English. It is also a requirement to obtain the biliteracy seal for which they will apply next semester.
Way to go STUDENTS!!
Gamez, Alonzo (9th), Garcia, Roberto (9th), Guitierrez, Stephanie (9th) , Cesar, Zuniga (12th)
Family Night is back! Mark your calendars for May 30th from 3:30-6:30pm. Please join us for an evening of information and family fun. We look forward to seeing you there!
