Dixon Unified School District Food Service Update August 21, 2020

Press release from the Dixon Unified School District:

August 21, 2020

Federal guidelines allowed the District to serve lunches to any student in the District at no cost throughout the whole period of school closure and summer. Beginning August 24, the District’s food service program will serve meals daily to district enrolled students at all Dixon Unified school sites. Meals will be charged based on the student’s qualification for free, reduced-price, or full-price meals. The student or parent/guardian must provide the student’s name or district-issued ID number in order to receive a meal. When paying by check or cash, place the exact payment into a sealed envelope with the student’s name and ID number written on the envelope. No change will be provided

• Elementary sites serving time: 11am-12:30pm
• CA Jacobs serving time: 11:30am-1:00pm
• Dixon High serving time: 11:00-12:30pm

We encourage every family to apply for free or reduced-price lunch as the pandemic has had negative impacts on many family’s finances. Applications will be available at each serving location and at the District Office. To apply online to receive free or reduced-price meals when school begins, click here https://www.myschoolapps.com. It only takes a few minutes to apply!
