This Week at Jackson
September 11th
Update from Food Services
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted a waiver to allow all children under the age of 18 to receive school meals at no cost beginning on Monday, September 14.
Hybrid Learning Model Students
All students participating in the in-school learning model can pick up a free meal during breakfast and lunch daily Monday-Friday (M-F)when at their school. On days that those students are remote learning from home, their meals can be picked up following the Remote Learning Model instructions listed below.
Remote Learning Model Students
All students in the remote learning model will be able to pick up a free breakfast and lunch daily (M-F) between the hours of 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at one of the following Chesterton school locations:
Liberty Intermediate School, 50 West 900 North
Westchester Intermediate School, 1050 S. 5th Street
Yost Elementary, 100 W Beam Street
Please follow signs posted at each of the above listed locations for directions on where to pick up meals.
Please pick up meals for all children in the household at one location.
If you will be picking up meals for a child with food allergies, please contact the Child Nutrition Director, Tammy Watkins, at 219-983-3700 for detailed information.
Please remember that if your child receives their free meal when they are in-school, parents are not allowed to also pick up a meal for that same child at the mobile pickup location on the same day.

School Pictures
Students attending school with the A-K group will have their pictures taken on September 30th.
Students attending school with the L-Z group will have their pictures taken on October 1st.
We are currently planning to offer pictures for remote students during retakes in the spring. That date is currently TBD.
Attendance--Please Call in Absences
Car Pickup Line Name Tags
If you pickup your student(s) in the car line and you have not yet received a name tag for your student, please contact the office at 219-983-3680 or email Tami Murphy at tmurphy@duneland.k12.in.us.
If you have a name tag from a previous year, feel free to use it. The tags will help to speed up the process and will also help on those rare days when Mr. Marshall is not available to be at the car line and someone else has to step in.
