Please note the two most common issues guardians are having when accessing Rooms are:
1. Current email address does not match the email in our student information system.
2. You must be listed as a guardian in our student information system. Access does not go out to emergency contacts, only guardians.
If you are a guardain and have not received an email, please contact your child's school to update that information.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ensures that all children with disabilities ages 3 years through 21 years residing in Pennsylvania have the right to a FAPE, including children with disabilities who have been suspended or expelled from school. The commonwealth shall make FAPE available to a child with a disability eligible under IDEA until the student turns 22. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a child eligible under IDEA who attains the age of twenty-one (21) years may remain enrolled in their resident district free of charge until their 22nd birthday.

Linked below are the PEBT Summer 2023 Family Guide and P-EBT FAQ Sheets.
- Family Guide: https://5il.co/2007f
- FAQ: https://5il.co/2007d
Please note that the Department of Human Services (DHS) has a new P-EBT Inquiry Portal at https://www.pennebt.com/en/. Do not use any previous links.
The inquiry portal allows parents to submit specific questions to DHS about their child’s PEBT benefits. This is separate from the Parent Portal where parents may look up whether their child is eligible for P-EBT and request a replacement card. Descriptions of these two resources along with others such as the DHS P-EBT family hotline number are included in the Family Guide.
