Two ways to receive the meal:
Option 1 (preferred)
Families can submit a request through the weekend meal order form for each student. Completing this order form will guarantee that the student(s) receive a weekend meal kit. The student can pick up the food from the satellite station (similar to grab n go breakfast) that will be setup in the building.
Option 2
Students exiting the building can stop by the satellite station and pick up one available weekend meal kit per student available on 12/7 and 12/11. Un-reserved meal kits will be on a first come, first serve basis. The students have the option to grab a kit as they exit the building and staff will only need to mark the student as a tally.
