[quote=Anonymous]Dear TJHSST Applicant and Parent/Guardian,

You are receiving this letter because you responded “yes” on page five of your application in response to the question “Are you eligible for free meals?”  This question was asked to allow us to identify those applicants who meet the criteria for the Economically Disadvantaged Experience Factor, as outlined in Regulation 3355.

In order to confirm your seat in the TJHSST Class of 2026, or in the wait pool, you must confirm your eligibility for the Free and Reduced-Price Meal (FRM) Program. You may do this in one of two ways:

By providing a certification from your school or school division showing your inclusion in FRM. If you do not have a copy of this certification, you may obtain it by calling FCPS Food and Nutrition Services at 703-813-4800 or 703-813-4844 (current FCPS students only) or by contacting the Food and Nutrition Services office in your school division. This certification should be sent by email to tjadmissions@fcps.edu no later than 4 p.m. on June 10.

2.            By submitting one of the following items by email to tjadmissions@fcps.edu no later than 4 p.m. on June 10:
o    Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Certification Notice and/or Case Number
o    Documentation showing that you are a foster child under the case of a foster agency or court (alternatively, provide the name and contact information for a person at the agency or court who can verify your foster status)
o    A letter from your school or division verifying your status as a homeless, migrant, or runaway youth
o    Documentation showing your family’s household income falls below the 2021-22 SY USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines outlined below:

We will review all submissions promptly.  Once your FRM eligibility is confirmed, we will notify you that your submission is adequate and no further action is necessary.

If your FRM eligibility is not confirmed, or if you fail to submit documentation showing your FRM eligibility, we will consider you FRM ineligible and will re-evaluate your application accordingly. Reevaluation of your application may result in a change of admission decision, so it is critical that you confirm your FRM eligibility by the June 10, 4 p.m. deadline.

If you have any questions, or need any assistance obtaining or submitting your documentation, please contact TJHSST Admissions; tjadmissions@fcps.edu or call 571-423-3770.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Regards,
Jeremy
