Updated: Meal Delivery During Virtual Learning In Savannah

Press release from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System:

8/18/2020

Throughout the virtual learning model, school meals will be available to SCCPSS students remotely and will be provided at designated bus stops at designated times. Families coming to meal service locations are asked to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 - make sure to wear a mask and adhere to socially distance guidelines while waiting in line.

To ensure the most efficient method for providing meal service access to all students, the District has created four delivery zones or quadrants. Each day, students living in the designated quadrant will be able to access meal service at the posted bus stop locations. Multiple meals will be provided on the designated day each week.

This week, because there are only three school days, delivery will be made to Quadrants 1 and 2 on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19. Delivery to Quadrant 3 will be made THURSDAY, AUGUST 20; delivery to Quadrant 4 will be scheduled on FRIDAY, AUGUST 21. Subsequent weeks will see deliveries made Tuesday through Friday. Schedules will be found weekly on sccpss.com.

To locate your quadrant, find the school closest to your home from the list provided below, then locate the delivery location and times for your area in the web links provided. **NOTE: THIS MAY NOT BE THE SCHOOL YOUR CHILD ATTENDS

Please note that breakfast is at no cost to all SCCPSS students, but unlike the delivery in the spring, lunch will be served to students using their meal eligibility status, i.e. free, reduced, or paid. Students will need to know their ID# or have an ID card in order to be identified as a SCCPSS student to receive the meals. Student must have pre-paid for school lunch through the MySchoolBucks application found on the district website before being served at the designated stops. If you do not have an account, sign up today by clicking here. Parents are encouraged to use the online system to place money on their student's account as no cash will be collected at the bus stops.

USDA did provide a waiver for parent pick-up. Parents will have to supply some form of identification to prove that their student is an SCCPSS student.

SCCPSS families who receive free/reduced lunch must reapply each year to maintain their recipient status. Prior year meal status will expire on September 30, 2020. Applications are available at the Application Center located at 3609 Hopkins Street, Savannah, GA, 31404 by appointment @ 912-395-1066. Both online and paper applications are available in English and Spanish. There is also a meal application drop box located at the site if the desire is to drop off the paper application afterhours. The district strongly encourage parents to apply online by going to myschoolapps.com. The link is also available on the district's School Nutrition page on sccpss.com under the Family and Student tab.

There will be no change to meal prices this year:

• Breakfast at no cost to all students
• Full Price Lunch in Grades K-12 - $3.00
• Reduced Price - $.40

Menus will be posted on the district's website. Some menu items may change based on availability.
