Meals are FREE to all children through age 18 until June 30, 2021.  This service includes students eating in person at the school and for meal pick up and delivery.  For pick up and delivery, children do not need to be Johnson City School students.

Meals can be picked up at Science Hill High School Auditorium area, Cherokee Elementary cafeteria door, and Mountain View at the back of school. Due to the hybrid schedule at Indian Trail, pick up will be for the week of 1/11/2021 only.  Pick up behind the school. Pick up times are school days Monday through Friday 9:20-10:05. Contact the school cafeteria for any specific instructions.

Curbside Pick-up: How it works

● Eligible children will receive up to one breakfast and one lunch per day at the time of pick-up based on parent request.

● Each individual school will establish how traffic will flow and the precise pick up time and location for meals. Please contact the school cafeteria to find out how to pick-up meals at that school.

● You may choose any school to pick up meals; it doesn’t have to be the school your child attends. Parents/guardians with students at multiple schools should pick up all meals at one school site.

● Parents/guardians are allowed to pick up meals and bring them home to their children. Parents will be asked to complete a sheet listing student name, school, and meal(s) requested (breakfast and/or lunch) each day. This will be compared to student enrollment as duplicate meal service is not allowable.

Meal Delivery: How it works

● Meals will be delivered daily between 10 am to Noon depending on location and the bus delivery route. Eligible students will receive one breakfast and one lunch per day at the time of delivery.

If a need exists where no route is planned, please contact Ann Hilliard, Johnson City School Food Service, at 423-434-5228. The request will be reviewed and considered, but, not guaranteed.
