Hybrid Schedule September 14-18
Free Student Meals!!
FREE meals for all USD 453 enrolled students will begin on Monday, September 14. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at no cost to all In-Person/Hybrid and Rigorous Remote students. Free meals are expected to be available for as late as the end of the first semester--December 2020.
Remote meal pick-up will start on Monday, September 14 at five schools: Anthony Elementary, David Brewer Elementary, Henry Leavenworth Elementary, Richard Warren Educational Campus, & Leavenworth High School. Today’s lunch AND tomorrow’s breakfast will be provided Monday through Friday on scheduled school days. Pre-ordering is not needed. Families can go to any school they wish and consolidate meals for all children at one school.
Pick-up times and building specific pick-up location will be posted on Friday.
Students must be present at meal pick-up. If this is not possible, parents can visit the Child Nutrition Office at 714 Lawrence before going to the pick-up site to request a ‘pass’ which will be used in the student’s absence at pick-up. If a person other than the parent or guardian has agreed to pick up meals, families will be able to complete this transfer of information in the same visit.
The Remote Learning menu will be distributed at all schools. Each breakfast & lunch is a chilled meal which can be consumed as-is or heated as desired.
Once remote student meal needs have been met the pick-up process will expand to include children between the ages of 1-18 years not yet in school, or participating in a different educational site such as the Virtual School, home school, or not in school at this time. Additions of these groups will be posted as they occur.
In-person students will continue as established on August 24--a choice of hot entrees and chilled foods to complete the meal. Meals for hybrid or remote days will be picked up as described earlier.
Student meal account balances will be held until needed when free meals end. Please resolve any account debts and be confident that secured deposits will be maintained.
Apply for free or reduced price meals now to be able to continue when normal processes return. Please do not delay as district funding is directly impacted by the number of students qualifying for free meals.
