Free Meals USDA Extension
Dear Bobcat Families,
On August 31, 2020, USDA released waivers extending the flexibility for the Summer Food Service Program. With these waivers, we will be able to provide our normal breakfasts and lunches to your child at no cost starting Tuesday, September 8th, 2020. I do want to emphasize that this waiver is valid through December 2020 OR until Federal Money is no longer available. If the Federal Money is no longer available before December, the school will put out communication informing you of this immediately.
We will be able to utilize this program during regular school hours and provide breakfast and lunch for ALL children ages 1 -18, and ALL students (virtual and in-person) for free! Meals will be provided on all days that school is in session. Meal pick-up will be at the north entrance of the school building from 11:15 AM to 11:45 AM, and will include lunch, plus breakfast for the next day. Those requesting meal pick-up are required to contact the school office (816-652-0402) no later than noon each Thursday to order pick up meals for the following week.
If your student is an in-person learner, there is nothing further you need to do. However, we do want to encourage you to complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application if you have not done so already.
I am excited to offer this to our families during the difficult circumstances COVID-19 has brought upon us all. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you have any questions.
Regards,
Terry Mayfield
Superintendent
