Free Meals to PK-12th grades extended to May 27, 2021

Groesbeck ISD Child Nutrition Department would like to announce changes to their program that began Monday, September 14, 2020. This program has been extended until May 27, 2021.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Food and Nutrition Service is extending several nationwide waivers for the Summer Food Service Program and Seamless Summer Option through May 2021.

All students in grades Pre-K through 12 have been receiving free breakfast and lunch each day school is in session. Students may purchase additional items and/ or meals as long as they have money in their account or with them. No charges are allowed for additional items/and or meals.

Students/families are still responsible for paying for charges carrying over from last year and up to September 11, 2020. These expenses are not covered under this program.

“We are excited to be able to extend this offer that benefits our students. We believe this will continue to relieve some of the stress our families are facing during this ongoing pandemic,” said Dr. James Cowley, Superintendent of Schools.
