IMPORTANT FOOD SERVICE UPDATE- FREE MEALS FOR CHILDREN 2-18 YRS OLD

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On August 31st, 2020, the USDA extended waivers allowing school districts that qualify to provide meals free of charge to children 2-18 years of age.

These waivers are extended until December 31st, 2020 or until funding runs out, whichever comes first.

Fairfield CSD will participate in this program starting Monday, September 14, 2020. There is no sign up needed for your students when they are eating meals in the schools. Meal sign up is needed for meals when your student is learning at-home virtually or on at-home days during hybrid model. Non-schooled/non-school aged children can sign up for these meals as well. Please note that all meals are free for all children, but participation is not required.

Q: What meals are included?

A: Breakfast and Lunch.

Q: What if my child brings cold lunch and wants milk from the school, will it be free?

A: No, items must be a complete menued meal to be covered under the waiver.

Q: What if my child wants an extra juice or milk with the meal they receive from the school, will it be free?

A: No, any item that a student uses that is extra will be charged as an a la carte item.

Q: How long will my student receive free meals?

A: Meals will be provided through December 18, 2020 on school days only or until funding runs out, whichever comes first. Meal service days will follow the school calendar found on fairfieldsfuture.org.

Q: What happens when funding is no longer available?

A: Your students’ meals will be charged according to their qualified lunch status- free, reduced or paid. If you haven’t filled out a Free/Reduced form for the 20/21 School Year, please contact Stephanie Hawkins (641) 472-2655 ext. 6703 or stephanie.hawkins@fairfieldsfuture.org. This will ensure that all meal statuses are up to date when funding has ended.

Q: How will I know that funding has ended?

A: We will notify families that funding has ended via the school’s website fairfieldsfuture.org, FCSD Lunch Lady Facebook page and via email.

Q: How do I sign up for these meals?  

A: Sign up opens weekly on Thursdays. You will need to submit a separate order form for each child/student and submit by Sunday at 9 p.m. Sign up on the school’s website- fairfieldsfuture.org > Departments > Food Service, click the post that says “Sign Up Here”, the links are posted within. You will need to sign up for this WEEKLY.

Q: How will I receive these meals?

Dear Parents/Guardians, Students & Community Members,

This week it has been great to see students performing in classrooms and on the playing fields! Our #1 goal is to keep these academic and extracurricular realms going and functioning as "normal" as they can be during this pandemic. It will take the efforts of many to make this possible. This letter provides some of the mitigation efforts, recommendations, requirements, and expectations that FCSD will have and will be promoting at our home extracurricular events. 

Highlight #1

Masks or an appropriate facial covering will be required to be worn by all spectators attending our indoor events.  Masks will also be required for high school students attending FCSD outdoor events who choose to sit in the HS student section.  For all other spectators attending outdoor activities, masks are not required but highly recommended.

Highlight #2

Social distancing of 3-6 feet between different family units is strongly encouraged at FCSD events. We understand this can be challenging, but FCSD wants to promote as much safety as possible. 

Highlight #3

Elementary and Middle School students attending High School events need to sit with their parents, guardians, or adult chaperones.

Highlight#4

Attendance of events is not a mandatory activity. FCSD will attempt to stream as many activities as possible.

Highlight #5

If you are sick or displaying any COVID-19 symptoms, please stay home. FCSD and our student-athletes appreciate your amazing support and realize that staying home is not an ideal situation, however, know that by doing so is in the best interest of our student-athletes and community members.

Please know that the safety of our student-athletes and our community members is FCSD's number one priority! If we all do our part and follow these mitigation recommendations, hopefully, we will be able to keep these events running smoothly and safely with a lot of Trojan Spirit & Pride! Thanks & Go Trojans!

Sincerely,

FCSD Administration

The district will be starting school on August 24th in a Hybrid Model. Family units will attend school together. Group 1 “Trojan” will be on Monday and Tuesday; Group 2 “Power” will be on Thursday and Friday. Wednesdays the groups will alternate between the weeks with Group 1 the first week and Group 2 the second week. 

 The first letter of your last name will designate your day or days of school

 Students attend two full days a week and a ½ day on alternative Wednesdays. 

In our effort to keep everyone healthy FCSD is following quarantine and isolation guidelines set by the CDC and Jefferson County Public Health. Please be aware that beginning August 11th 2020, if your student comes in close contact (within 6ft for 15 mins or greater) with a positive COVID 19 individual, the 14 day quarantine will affect your student's school start date. Please contact your building school nurse to discuss your student's altered first day of school.
