Because COVID-19 closed our schools, your children are eligible for food assistance, called Pandemic EBT (P-EBT): Emergency School Meals Program.

P-EBT provides families with funds to make up for some of the cost of meals while school was closed. This benefit is for Washington children in grades K-12 who receive free or reduced-price school meals. These benefits will be on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card which is used like a debit card to buy groceries. Because all YSD students receive free breakfast and lunch, all YSD students are eligible regardless of income. If you do not already receive benefits, you will need to apply on or after June 30.  If you receive food assistance benefits already, the money will appear on your EBT on June 30.

Update 7/6/20: We have been in contact with OSPI last week and they said that DSHS had the incorrect student list for Yakima School District which is why they turned down some parents; they are updating with the correct list which will show any student enrolled in Yakima School District that was grade K-12 in the school year 2019-2020 as eligible for PEBT.

Thank you Collage

Fidelity Title has chosen to sponsor the Nob Hill Elementary students with a gift of new books again!  This means that our Nighthawks will have new books so they can KEEP READING!  We are very grateful to Fidelity Title for their repeated generosity.

In an effort to reach out to all of our students with messages of encouragment, Nob Hill Elementary staff are creating videos and posting them on YouTube!  Check out the creative post by Mr. Schultz!  Our channel can be found here:  At Home with the Nob Hill Staff 

 The Yakima School District is proud to report that Nob Hill Elementary School has been recognized by the Washington State Board of Education for closing gaps in targeted areas.

"Nob Hill Elementary in Yakima, Washington is inspiring. With these awards we recognize the outstanding efforts of our schools and their positive impact on students,” said Washington State Board of Education Chair, Peter Maier. “The State Board, OSPI, and the Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Committee are excited to celebrate the diverse educational communities that support Washington’s ever-changing K-12 student population.  Thank you to our state's schools and educators for your dedication to students!”

Why a sock drive?  We all know how good a brand new pair of scoks feel, especially for those on their feet out in the cold.  Nob Hill Elementary School competed against Garfiend Elementary School to see who could bring in the most socks to donate to the Union Gospel Mission. Garfield Elementary School donated 1005 pair of scoks; while Nob Hill Elementary School brought in 1775 pair of socks. One 5th grade Nob Hill student said, "Not only is it fun to compete against another school, but it was also fun to compete agaist other classrooms in our school.  It feels good to give back to our community and more important to help one another out."

Way to go Garfield Elementary and Nob Hill Elementary!
