High School Program Updates/Reminders for May 22
Certificates and Awards Recognitions Schedule – Week of May 25
Hard work deserves praise and the work that our seniors have done, both during the regular school year and during the pandemic shutdown, is worthy of the highest praise. During the recent weeks, our Principals and Administrators have developed a schedule to confer the Certificates and Awards that our seniors have earned over the course of the school year.
This week, we completed the necessary technological arrangements and created Zoom meeting links for each session. Our program instructors have shared this schedule and relevant links with the students via the Canvas Learning System and email. Additionally, the full Recognition Session schedule and list of the individual links is below.
Families are invited to log onto these Zoom sessions to view the recognitions. The sessions are limited to 500 logins per session. We encourage only family to login to view the sessions. Each recognition session will be recorded and links will be posted online so that any family members who are not able to attend the live sessions can view it another time.

Food Access Program – Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT)
The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted approval to Pennsylvania to launch a plan for a food access program known as Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT). This plan will help families who may have strained resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
P-EBT is different than Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). P-EBT is for students who are eligible for free and reduced school meals — those who would have received meals if school was not closed. Benefits will be issued on an EBT card, in most cases to the parent/guardian of the household. Families can receive both the P-EBT and free school meals through Summer Food Service Program and Seamless Summer Option. Additionally, there is no impact to the school meal program and the funding provided to schools since the P-EBT is a completely separate program with a different funding stream than the school meal program.
Families can click here to to apply for P-EBT online..

Mental Health Resources
We are seeing a rise in inquiries from students and families regarding stress, anxiety, and depression related to the pandemic and the social changes that society is experiencing because of it. The CTC has links to helpful mental health and wellbeing resources on our Covid-19 Resource webpage and on the counselors’ page on Canvas. If you feel that you need help, please reach out to your campus counselors or check out the online resources. Don’t think that you’re alone! Help is here if you need it.
If you have any questions about your program at the LCCTC, please ask your instructor.
Thank you and be safe.
