Free Meals for Students
During the 2020-2021 school year, all Wrentham Public Schools students and their siblings are eligible to receive free lunch,regardless of if they are learning in school or remotely. We are alsooffering a one day per week meal pick up for your children while they are learning remotely. This will save you time and energy while your children are learning at school and home, as well as provide beneficial federal funds to our School Food Service Program.
Remote Meals can be picked up every Wednesday from 10:30 am-12:30 pm at the Delaney School Parking Lot Cafeteria Entrance. We ask that you place a note in your passenger window with the learning model your children attend and the number of children in the family ages 0 -
21. We also ask that you pop your trunk for a non-contact safe delivery.
If you require special dietary assistance, need help with picking up meals or have any additional questions or concerns, please contact
Maura Crowley, Interim Food Service Director at
crowleym@wrenthamschools.org or 508-384-5430 x1070.
