The following weeks we will open for grab-n-go on Mondays and Fridays only. Lastly, we know that some families and caregivers may now qualify for free and reduced meals. We will work with you, but you must provide the staff member with a completed (Meal Assistance Application) application in order for us to provide you with food. If you cannot print an application at home, paper copies will be available at SHRHS and CMS on pick up days.
Douglas Public School District will provide “grab and go” meals to those students who qualify for free or reduced school meals under federal guidelines. These “grab and go”meals can be picked up at the Elementary School starting March 18 (Today) between 10 and 12. Wednesday’s “grab and go” will include three breakfasts and three lunches per student to cover the rest of this week.
They will have the same process in place next week on Monday (2 days of meals) and Wednesday (3 days of meals) from 10 to 12.
These meals can be picked up at the back entrance of the Elementary School near the basketball court. Staff members will be ready to receive you and to distribute these meals to you.
Again, these meals are being provided to those families who meet and are covered through federal guidelines. They recommend that families bring a reusable bag or good sized box to be used to transport the meals.
If a family is absolutely unable to get transportation to the school, please call the food service office at the Elementary School at 508-476-4200 extension 1115 or 1132 and a member of the food service staff will take your information.
