Updates to Curbside Grab & Go Meals

FAQs on Meal Distribution

1. Can students pick up meals on campus every day, regardless of their cohort assignment?

   No. Students will receive meals via curbside meal distribution on Mondays, and meals will be provided to students on campus during their assigned cohort days.

   Students in grades 4-6 and secondary students can pick up meals curbside on Mondays until their campus returns to in-person learning. Once they return to in-person learning, they can continue to pick up meals curbside on Mondays and meals will be available to students on-campus on their assigned cohort days.

   Meal Services for students enrolled in Learning Hubs will not be impacted by these changes.

2. My student is assigned to Cohort A. What days can he/she receive meals?

   Cohort A — Curbside meals will be available on Mondays at 57 school sites from 11 am – 1 pm to cover nutritional needs for students during distance learning days. Students will also receive to-go breakfast and lunch on campus on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

    

   Cohort B — Curbside meals will be available on Mondays at 57 school sites from 11 am – 1 pm to cover nutritional needs for students during distance learning days. Students will also receive to-go breakfast and lunch on campus on Thursdays and Fridays.

    

   Cohort C — Curbside meals will be available on Mondays only at 57 school sites from 11 am – 1 pm to cover nutritional needs during all five distance learning days.

3. Are students required to be present to receive meals during Monday’s curbside meal pick up?

   Students are not required to be present to receive curbside meals if the parent/guardian can provide food service personnel enrollment verification that their student(s) is enrolled in SCUSD or associated charter school. If the child is not enrolled in SCUSD or associated charter school, the child must be present in the vehicle in order to receive free meals.

4. I didn’t receive my enrollment verification document in the mail. What should I do?

   Enrollment verification letters were sent via US mail to all enrolled students starting March 31. Letters were also sent via email on April 5th and 6th. If you have not received this information, you can provide other enrollment documents such as Student ID, class schedule, report card, school welcome letter, etc. Food service personnel will also be able to verify your student’s enrollment status if you can provide a student ID number, or student first and last name during curbside pick up. You can also call our Nutrition Office at 916-395-5600 and they can provide you with a letter.

5. My student is attending in-person learning 2 days per week. Do students need to show enrollment verification to receive meals on campus?

   No. The enrollment verification letters are for Monday, curbside meal service only. Students who are on campus, attending in-person learning on their assigned cohort days are enrolled, and will not need to show enrollment verification to receive meals during their assigned cohort days.
