The Bremerton School District is committed to providing meals to all children in Bremerton throughout the school closure. However, we are making some changes to our Grab-n-Go meal programs to support the social distancing of staff, students, parents, and volunteers in accordance with guidance and directives from federal, state, and local authorities.

Beginning Monday, March 30:

1) We will be distributing meals on Monday and Wednesday only.

• Students will still receive 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches per week as they will get 2 days of meals on Monday, and 3 days of meals on Wednesday.

2) Meals will only be available for pick-up at the following schools:

• Bremerton High School

• Armin Jahr Elementary

• West Hills STEM Academy

Families can visit any of these locations to pick up meals. All locations are open to all children!

3) Some bus routes will be combined to minimize the number of bus drivers needed for delivery.

• Buses will be going to all stops, but times may be changing.
• A few bus stops have been added.
• Information on bus route changes is available on each school's home page, and www.BremertonSchools.org/Meals.

Summary of Grab-n-Go meal program changes for West Hills STEM Academy

• Meal distribution will continue at West Hills STEM Academy on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

• Route O has been combined with Route X.

• Naval Routes K and L (that also serve some WHSA during the regular school year) have had several stops added.

• Please refer to the schedules below for times. Schedules are also posted on www.BremertonSchools.org/Meals

Revised routes serving WHSA families (starting 3/30/2020)

• Daily meal distribution at all schools and by bus will continue through Friday, March 27.
• Meal distribution on Monday and Wednesdays will begin next week (week of March 30).
• Families can wait at any bus stop or visit any of of our three schools distributing meals to pick-up meals. We encourage families to do what is most convenient for them.
  
• All children are welcome to participate in our program. There is no income requirement and students do not have to qualify for free or reduced lunch to participate.
• Meals are available for any child under age 18, including younger siblings who may not be enrolled in school. Lunches are also available for any currently-enrolled student up to age 21 (such as special education or Open Doors students).
• With our combined bus routes serving more families, our buses may be running late. Please plan on the possibility of buses running 10-15 minutes late. Thank you for your patience.
• Since children will be receiving multiple meals at a time, families might want to consider bringing bags, boxes or a wagon to carry food home with them.
