Dear ESS Families,

Breakfast and Lunch
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Modified Hybrid/In School
LUNCH & BREAKFAST MENUS
Elementary breakfast and lunch will be served to the student in the classroom. Because all meals need to be prepared and wrapped and delivered to classrooms in a very short amount of time, we will only be offering one lunch meal choice to start. Once we assess the needs and develop the process of classroom meal delivery, we look to offer more choices in a few weeks.
Thank you for your understanding.

*****MENU IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME*****
Meal Pick Up for Remote & Virtual Learners ONLY
Registered Enfield Public Schools students learning while at home can obtain meals
from the school district. It will not be like it was in the spring, as all meals must
be assigned to a student ID who is registered in the Enfield Public School District.
Meals will be charged at the current student meal status rate.
Meal orders must be placed by 2pm the day before you pick up your meals.
What you need to know:
ยท Pre ordered meals can be picked up at Enfield High School on Monday and Wednesday between 8:30 am โ 9:30 am. All student meals for all schools will be picked up at Enfield High School near the auditorium entrance (there will be signage), not the school they normally attend.
ยท Parent or Guardian must preorder the meals and provide the student ID#, First and Last name as listed when registered, for each registered Enfield Public School student in Grades PK-12. Per NSMP (National School Meal Program) regulations, only a parent or guardian can pick up meals for students.
ยท HOW TO ORDER:
Email rfrench@enfieldschools.org (preferred) or you can call 860-253-6511 (if you do not have email) by 2pm on Friday for Monday pick up to receive meals for Monday and Tuesday. Order by 2pm Tuesday to pick up meals for any one or all these days: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You can order and pick up meals for any day a student is remote learning but remember you can only get one breakfast and one lunch per registered student per day.
ยท WHAT TYPE OF MEALS ARE AVAILABLE: All meals will consist of cold and/or shelf stable items and will meet the NSMP grade level of serving sizes and components.
Important Points to Remember
ยท Only registered Enfield Public School students who are not physically in school can order meals to be picked up. Students who are in school have meals at the school they are attending. All meals, either picked up for remote/virtual learners or those received while learning at school, are rung into our Point of Sale system at the students approved status price.
ยท Students can only receive one breakfast and one lunch a day. If meals are picked up and then student receives a meal at school for the same day, the student will be charged full price for the second meal regardless of status. Federal program requirements allow for only one breakfast and one lunch a day at the students approved status.

Week One Plan
- Hybrid students will be in-person for two days, and remote for the remaining three.
- All students will be remote on Wednesdays.
- All teachers will share and send a schedule for all their learners on Friday. On this schedule it will show the times when remote students should log on for lessons and assignments. There will be a different schedule for Wednesdays, as all students are home, but it will still indicate the times for live lessons and individual work.
- During the first two weeks, special area teachers will be posting assignments instead of live streaming as we finalize the logistics of this format.
- We are unsure of when all students will arrive for the first week, therefore some morning meetings may be posted activities instead of live.
- During the first week, lessons will be focused on community building and social emotional health.
A review of next week:
Monday - No School
Tuesday - Cohort A In-person/Cohort B remote/Full-time remote learners
Wednesday - All Remote
Thursday - Cohort A Remote/Cohort B In-person/Full-time remote learners
Friday - Cohort A Remote/Cohort B In-person/Full-time remote learners
Please continue to be patient with the process. During the first week we will be working out technological bugs as well as any scheduling issues.
