P-EBT Appeals Process
The Tennessee Department of Human Services has shared guidance for P-EBT appeals and FAQ's. Visit this site for more information, https://www.tn.gov/humanservices/p-ebt/p-ebt-appeals-process.html .
Breakfast/Lunch Prices Back in Effect:
For the past year and a half the Moore County Schools Nutrition Department has been able to provide breakfast and lunch to all students free of charge due to federal pandemic relief funding. The funding that allowed this has been discontinued for the 2022-23 school year. Only those students that apply for free or reduced price meals will be eligible for discounts for breakfast or lunch. You can download and complete the application now. Completed applications can be mailed to Moore County School Nutrition, 308 Mechanic Street North, Lynchburg, TN 37352.
We would like to encourage everyone that might qualify for free/reduced benefits to fill out the forms provided. Our school system receives federal funding based on the percentage of free/reduced qualifying students and also there are additional benefits for the family if they do qualify- such as with P-EBT.

Nearly 32 million children receive meals throughout the school day. These meals are based on nutrition standards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. New nutrition standards for schools increase access to healthy food and encourage kids to make smart choices. Schools are working to make meals more nutritious, keep all students hunger-free, and help children maintain or reach a healthy weight.

Depositing Monies into an Account
You can do this a few different ways. You can send in check or cash with your child, though we prefer
checks. All checks and cash should be inside of a sealed envelope with child and teacher name on the
outside of the envelope for elementary students. You can also stop by and visit the cafeteria to make a
deposit or you can make a deposit via our online system at www.myschoolbucks.com. This online
service offers you the convenience and information you need to manage your child’s account. This
system will eliminate the need to send payments to school or worry about lost or forgotten lunch
money.
