P-EBT Update:
Families of about 14,000 New Mexico students will receive retroactive benefits starting next week to cover the cost of free and reduced-price school meals their children missed in August and September due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Benefits for missed school meals in October and November will be distributed in April. It is important that families understand that these Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfers (P-EBT) will cover only meals an eligible student missed under these conditions:
• The student missed at least five straight days of school;
• The absences were due to COVID-19 -- either the student tested positive or the student was a close contact to a student who tested positive.
• The absences were due to the student’s district/school being shut down due to positive COVID cases.
Beginning, March 18, 2022, parents and guardians will
be able to check whether their child qualified for the latest P-EBT issuance at VERIFY PEBT Information:
https://www.yes.state.nm.us/yesnm/pandemic/pebt?execution=e1s1
If your child has a P-EBT card, please keep the card and do not destroy it. If a new address or guardian was
reported to the school, a new P-EBT card will be sent to the new address. For questions regarding your child’s
P-EBT card, you can contact NM PEBT Hotline directly at 1-833-415-0569.

The Mora Independent Schools Board of Education voted to modify our mask wearing policy to encourage the use of face masks but making mask wearing optional if an individual wishes to not wear a face mask. Families can decide what would be best for them and we will support their decision. Please keep in mind that this policy can change if there is a change in COVID infections or guidance from NM PED. If you wish for your student to be wearing a mask, please contact your student’s school and we will be able to assist in your wishes for your student to wear a mask. We are asking that we all respect each other’s decision to wear or not wear a mask.
We are still implementing COVID safe practices and encourage staff and students to stay home if they feel sick.
