Food Service during Current Closure of Schools: It is vital to us as a community that we provide emergency food service for children in need during this school closure, and it is mandatory that we do so for students receiving free- and reduced-price lunches. We have received permission from the CSDE to provide meals to any Trumbull Public Schools students who would like to pick up a grab-and-go lunch and breakfast.

This is offered to all household members aged 18 and younger, as long as one child in the household is enrolled in any Trumbull Public School. Beginning Tuesday, March 17, families can come to Trumbull High School (72 Strobel Road) between 10:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. for curbside pickup of a free lunch for that day, and also a breakfast for the following day. Families will need to provide their child(ren)’s name(s) and will be asked to take the meals home with them.

There will be no eating at the school or use of the school by students and families during this time. Meals and food preparation will meet all requirements of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Meal distribution will be at the front entrance (Door 1) of Trumbull High School. Please look for TPS food services staff and security personnel, who will direct traffic for the curbside pickup. Beginning Tuesday, March 17, this service will be offered Monday through Friday for the duration of the closure of the Trumbull Public Schools.
