Interested in Picking Up Meals Over Spring Break.....
ATTENTION 8th GRADERS:Congratulations on receiving your high schoolinformation last Friday through the GoCPSplatform. So many of our great class of 2020are headed to some of best high schools inthe area after their hard work over many
The health and wellbeing of our students and staff isalways our top priority. Since the temporary closure ofour schools due to COVID-19, Chicago Public Schools(CPS) has provided 2.8 million grab-and-go meals tofamilies, and we are committed to continue providingthese meals during spring break and until CPS schoolsreopen. To provide our families with the most consistent services while pickingup grab-and-go meals during the closure and to better support school staff, fooddistribution sites will be changing beginning Monday, April 6.
During the district’s scheduled spring break, which begins Monday, April 6,families may pick up grab-and-go meals at 136 school sites across the city fromMonday–Thursday, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. A detailed list of spring break meal sites isavailable here. Beginning the following week (Monday, April 13), the district willlaunch a consolidated meal plan under which 276 schools that were mostfrequented by families will continue to provide free meals, and schools that wereless utilized by families will no longer serve as distribution sites.
By consolidating sites, we will have more staff available to support each school—which will help ensure meal sites do not need to close in the event of staffabsences. Lunchroom staff who are not working or assigned to a meal site willcontinue to be paid and be able to stay home and practice social distancing.Additionally, by reducing the number of meal sites, we will also be able to reducethe number of principals and assistant principals who are overseeing meal
distribution each day, which will provide additional time for principals to supportremote learning, which launches district-wide on April 13.
For the remainder of this week, CPS families can pick up free grab-and-go mealsfrom 9 a.m.–1 p.m. at any CPS school. For the full list of meal sites open duringspring break and under the consolidated site plan beginning April 13, pleasevisit cps.edu/mealsites or call 773-553-KIDS. Meal sites will not be open onFriday, April 10 to give our staff members off for Good Friday, and we askfamilies to plan accordingly.
Supporting our families in the midst of this public health emergency is soimportant to us, and we thank you for your patience and understanding as ourplans and resources evolve. Please continue engaging in social distancing as wework to slow the spread of this pandemic.
Sincerely,
