Hello Parents and Guardians,
It’s that time of year again and fall sports are gearing up for another season of competition. We will be hosting our Fall Sports Parent Meeting on Monday, August 3rd at 6:00 pm in the High School Gymnasium.
We will be discussing the student activities handbook to familiarize you with procedures and identify the responsibilities of all parties involved. We will also be handing out physical forms and MHSA concussion awareness forms as well. Please be sure to mark the date on your calendar. Thanks for your support and let’s get ready for another great season of Bulldog Athletics.
We will also be talking about our new athletics platform, DragonFly. DragonFly will be a catch all for schedules, communication, and forms. This will make communication from the school to you much more efficient and we will be mostly paperless when collecting athletic forms. If you would like to get a jumpstart on DragonFly, I have included some information on how to register. Our school name is Mission High School and our school code is NEJJCC.
Thank you,
Tyler Murray
Activities Director Mission HS & MS

Information:
Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT)
P-EBT provides nutrition benefits to families who have lost access to free or reduced-price school meals because schools are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible students and families will receive money on a new or existing EBT card to help fill the school meals gap. The benefit will be $5.70/day per student, retroactive to when school initially closed (for Montana the benefit through the end of the 2019-2020 school year will be $330/child). Families can get both P-EBT and “grab and go” meals from schools and community organizations that schools are serving during the pandemic.
All children ages 5 to 18 that were eligible for free or reduced-price school meals as of March 18, 2020 qualify for this benefit. This benefit will be issued through the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). The P-EBT card works like a debit card to purchase food items anywhere EBT benefits are accepted. DPHHS will notify families of this benefit. Families receiving SNAP will get the P-EBT benefit added to their existing EBT card. Non-SNAP families will be mailed an EBT card with the P-EBT benefit.
Since children on free or reduced-price lunch automatically qualify for the benefit, families do not need to apply. DPHHS will automatically provide this benefit to families on SNAP, and is working with OPI and local school districts to obtain data from non-SNAP households who are eligible for P-EBT. DPHHS requests you provide the following information for all non-SNAP children ages 5 to 18 in your school district who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch as of March 18, 2020 (also see example spreadsheet attached separately):
Parent First Name & Last name
Full Address (Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State, Zip Code)
The number of children in the household eligible for free or reduced-price lunch
For each child:
Child First & Last Name
Child Date of Birth
Child CHIMES ID (if applicable)
Child CHIMES case # (if applicable)
Please send the above information via Excel to DPHHS at https://transfer.mt.gov/upload?type=HHSHCSDPEBT by July 17, 2020. The email must be sent through the State’s secure email system, ePass at www.transfer.mt.gov. Please set up an ePass Account. You will want to use the box on the left and click on “create one here”. Follow the steps to complete an account. Once your account is setup you can upload the file, enter the email address above and send.
