Enrolled online and at-home learners may pick up meals at specific times and locations designated by each school. Siblings of enrolled online and at-home learners may also receive free meals.

Free lunch and breakfast for the next morning will be available to pickup door-side for all children 18-years-old and younger at the following locations:

  • Joel P. Jensen Middle
  • Elk Ridge Middle
  • South Hills Middle

Meal service at these three locations will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Only children are eligible for free meals under this waiver.
