IMPORTANT COVID PROTOCOL
FREE Meals Every School Day
Children need healthy meals to learn. RBB Edgewood Schools offers healthy FREE meals every school day whether it's in person or virtual learning. We offer Wednesday off-site pick up meals for 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, and up to 5-days at the Edgewood Primary School 6:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. and the old Stinesville Shcool parking lot 10:00 a.m.-10:15 a.m. every week. Our Stinesville site is an open site, which includes ALL kids up to the age of 18, even those homeschooling. Per the USDA waiver, all meals, on-site or off-site are FREE until the end of this school year or until funds are depleted. Also, if you're packing a lunch and want a milk pack (includes milk, vegetable, and a fruit) that is FREE too! Please note for financial assistance with meals beyond the waiver, and textbook assistance, you still need to complete the free and reduced form on Harmony. You may complete the form anytime during the course of the year to qualify. Click this link to see if you might qualify.
We will continue to have our EPS weekly meal pick-up as long as we operate any form of Elearning days. If we go back to 5-days a week, the only site we will operate is our open site at Stinesville 10:00 a.m. -10:15 a.m. on Wednesdays for our virtual and homeschooling families.
Our vending machines are available for use at our High School only. At all other schools, if you're looking for a snack for a classroom party, we do offer our party trays for purchase.
Thanks for helping us keep our students healthy,
Vickie Coffey
Nutrition Services/Healthy Schools Director

FAFSA-Support Resource!
Attention EHS Families! Have you heard of INvested? (https://www.investedindiana.org/resources/for-families/) They can help you and your student start his or her path to college success NOW! Graduating college with the least debt possible requires three main steps:
- Step one is to focus on what you hope to do for a living someday and map out the path to get there. If you know exactly what that is, great! If not, let’s work on that first.
- Step two is to take this information and apply it to the incredible list of school options available to find your perfect fit.
- Step three, unfortunately, is where most students begin the process, and that is choosing how to pay for college.
Please don’t underestimate how important the first two steps are in avoiding debt. In step three, INvested will completely focus on how to best help you pay for college. If you go step by step, you use the college planning tools and worksheets we provide, and you contact them with any questions you may have, they can make the best way to access college the easy way too!
Connecting with INvested is easy for you and your family. Call an INvestEd team member at 317-715-9007 or email them at outreach@investedindiana.org. Check the website above for FREE virtual support events you can register for too!
