Would you access free, nutritious meals for your child if they need to isolate, quarantine, or switch to virtual learning temporarily due to COVID-19? We want to ensure students have access to nutritious meals if they need to miss school due to isolation, quarantine, or a temporary classroom closure (typically between 7 and 10 days). MMSD has worked with Second Harvest FoodBank and other community food pantries to pair every school with food resources in the event students are sent home due to COVID-19. We want to make sure the food pantry paired with our school is as prepared with as many resources as possible to support your family in the event of a closure. This short survey will ask if you anticipate needing to access these resources if your child is temporarily sent home due to COVID-19. If your child is sent home, our school will let you know who to contact at school to be connected to resources. Regardless of your answer today, you and your family can still access these resources if you need to at any time. We are simply trying to get a high-level view of the need at each school for planning purposes. If you responded to this survey sent from another school in the district, please disregard. You do not need to complete it multiple times.

Please check out the new information about post high school options. Each week the 3CR (College, Career, and Community Ready) team will highlight two paths for your continued success. Links are provided within the document to help you in your decision-making process. If you have any questions please contact your school counselor or Mr. Kastner in room 1040A.
