    Solar Eclipse – April 8th

    There will be a partial solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th. It begins at 12:49, will reach magnitude (most coverage) at 2:04, and end after 3pm.  Bluffview is supplying safety glasses, especially since the magnitude will take place right at dismissal time.  Education about the importance of the glasses will be given.  Some of the classes may plan activities as well.

    S-EBT Program is Coming This Summer

    S-EBT Program is Coming this Summer

    The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 authorized a permanent, nationwide S-EBT program for eligible families beginning in 2024. The state of Minnesota (MN) has submitted the S-EBT plan to implement this new federal program in summer 2024 to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the plan is pending approval. The administration of the S-EBT program will be a joint effort between the MN Department of Education (MDE), the MN Department of Human Services (DHS) and MN Information Technology Services (MNIT). The S-EBT program provides families with school-aged children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals at $40 per month per child ($120 total) during the summer months to purchase healthy foods with funds placed on EBT cards.

    S-EBT Eligibility

    Students attending a school participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP)/ School Breakfast Program (SBP) at the end of the 2023–24 school year can qualify through the following methods:

    • Students who are directly certified through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), Foster and Medicaid.
    • Students who are categorically eligible (homeless, foster, migrant or runaway).
    • Students approved for free/reduced-price lunch for the 2023–24 school year.
    • Students who are newly eligible for free/reduced-price lunch during the summer until August 23, 2024.

    Contact Sherry Lohmeyer at slohmeyer@bluffviewmontessori.org for more information or for an application.
