District families may be receiving a Pandemic Electronic Benefit Card (P-BET) over the next few days or weeks, or you may have received one already. The reason that you are receiving this card is based on the fact that you had a student enrolled at an Ottumwa school during the pandemic shut down and based on the free/reduced lunch status of your child's school. These cards are for individual students, so you may receive more than one if you had more than one student enrolled at James.
