Hello Club Families!
MCPS recently announced plans to serve meals for any youth under the age of 18 (even private school or homeschool students, or students from other school districts). Here are the details:
During this school closure period, our school lunch and breakfast program is open to all youth for FREE.
There is no limitation related to income status nor previous qualification for free/reduced lunch. Any youth can receive free meals, regardless of status.
The following school sites will be open from 10:00 -1:00 Monday - Friday to pick up meals
- Chief Charlo
- Franklin
- Lowell
- Russell
Meals can be picked up at any time during this three hour window. Each bag will include both breakfast and lunch.
Meals will also be delivered on all elementary school bus routes between 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. We are using the ‘PK5 bus routes because there are more stops, in more neighborhoods. However any youth under 18 will be able to grab a lunch at the stop, regardless of grade level.
Please send only one person from each family ( this can be an adult) to pick up the meals at a pick up site or a bus stop for youth under 18 in your household. When picking up meals at a school site or a bus stop, please maintain a 6 foot distance from others waiting in line for meals.
Infofinder routes have been revised so that parents will see the exact time between 11 - 1 when the bus will arrive at their stop. We will also be posting the bus stop information on the front entrance of every school. When searching for a bus stop, parents need to put in their address and then use the drop down menu to select the appropriate elementary school closest to their home.
The timing may flex by 10-15 minutes from the posted schedule as we get the system up and running.
Food Allergies: Parents or guardians, please examine the food for those students who have food allergies. We will identify lunches that have peanuts, but we recognize that there are other food allergies. If your student has known food allergies, please check over the food that has been delivered for any potential problems. If you have questions about how the food was prepared or specific ingredients, please contact our food service department at 728-2400 ext. 3023 or 5012 or slrossmiller@mcps.k12.mt.us
We are working on options for Seeley Lake, standby for more information.
