Meal Distribution Sites

Meal Distribution Sites

*I copy and pasted this right off of Dearborn Public School’s Facebook page 🙂

**I ALSO just learned that O.L.Smith has been added to the pickup locations, starting on March 23rd, 2020 this.

Dearborn Public Schools is offering free pickup lunch and breakfast for students while school is closed for the mandatory shut down over the next three weeks.

Families will be able to stop in and pick up a bag with both breakfast and lunch for each child in the family.  Pickups will run daily from 10 a.m. to noon starting tomorrow, March 17, at Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn high schools, McCollough-Unis, Salina Intermediate, and Woodworth Middle School.

Signage at each site will direct parents and students where to enter the building. Food will be near entrances to minimize the amount of time community members spend in the facilities.

Please note, meals are available to anyone age 18 and younger.  Students do not need to be present, and the Dearborn School student does not need to attend at that building.  A designated person can collect meals for multiple children.  Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.

The program will allow the District’s 20,700 students to continue to have access to healthy food.  Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last week ordered all Michigan schools closed from March 16 through April 3 to slow the spread of novel coronavirus and cases of COVID-19.  Dearborn Schools is scheduled for spring break April 6 to 10, so school will not resume in the District until April 13.

The grab-and-go meals will be served at least through April 3.

Superintendent Glenn Maleyko praised the District’s food service team for quickly implementing this drastic change in service to meet the needs of families.

“We appreciate the patience of our families and community as we all try to adjust to this sudden change from closing schools,” Dr. Maleyko said.  “More than three quarters of our students qualify for free or reduced priced school meals.  We realize this food is important to our families, many of whom may be facing additional financial hardships from the sudden economic changes related to COVID-19.”

Check the Dearborn Public Schools website at www.dearbornschools.org for any updates or changes to the meal program or for other issues regarding the school closure.

Packet Pickup for Students without Internet Access

Packet Pickup for Students without Internet Access

Dear Viking Families,

O.L.Smith staff members have looked over the information provided from the Internet Access Survey and created packets for families who do not have access at home. These families can enter the school’s office doors to pick up their child’s packet on TUESDAY, MARCH 17th, 2020 from 9:00-11:00am. No one will be allowed to enter the school to pick up any other belongings. There will be a table set up right when you walk in to pick up the packet. Thank you for taking the time to help ensure learning is happening for all students at this time.
