A new program called Summer EBT, or “SUN Bucks,” has been authorized by a bipartisan U.S. Congress to provide food dollars to low-income families with school-aged children over the summer months. For the summer of 2024, a household will receive $120 Summer EBT/SUN Bucks benefit (which equals $40 for each summer month) for every eligible child in the household. If multiple eligible students are in a household, the benefit will be combined into one issuance amount. The benefit will be issued to the family’s existing state EBT card (for SNAP or TANF) or on a new SUN Bucks card that is mailed, in most cases, to the household contact and address DHS has on file for that household.

Please note that Steel Valley School District will be making the following change to our District calendar: Early Dismissal April 9, 2024 is RESCHEDULED to April 8, 2024 (April 9 will now be a full day of school) This shift is due to the solar eclipse that will happen on April 8, 2024 and will overlap with usual school dismissal times (the eclipse is expected to start at 2:00pm and continue through 3: 18pm). In an effort to ensure students have the opportunity to observe this rare and historic event safely, we want to ensure students are not in the midst of dismissal, when District staff do not have the ability to monitor safe viewing of the eclipse. It is important to note that viewing the eclipse without taking proper precautions can lead to significant eye injury.
The Steel Valley School District is excited to offer Pre-Kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year. Families must reside in the Steel Valley School District (Homestead, Munhall, and West Homestead) and the student must be 4-years-old on or before September 1, 2024.
