District & Safety Reminders & Updates:
Free Meal Program for All Children
On Tuesday, the district hosted its first community-wide weekly free meal distribution for all children age 18 and under who reside within in the district’s boundaries. The need within the Yorkville CUSD 115 community was greater than anticipated, and those staffing the distribution process appreciated the patience and understanding of those who waited in the drive through line to pick up the meals. District administration has reviewed the preparation and distribution processes and implemented changes to make next Tuesday’s distribution more efficient for families.
As a reminder:
- Families do not need to sign up in order to participate in the program.
- Students who attend school full day on-site will receive their meals at school. All other students can pick up their meals during the Tuesday meal distribution from 4-6 p.m. at Yorkville High School, 797 Game Farm Road.
-
The free meal program for all children is in effect until December 31, 2020.
This program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Illinois State Board of Education. Additional information is available on the district website at www.y115.org/freemealprogram. Questions can be directed to the district’s Director of Business Services Mike Vargas at mvargas@y115.org.

Keeping the Fox Spirit Alive at YHS:
While it is disappointing that we are not able to celebrate a traditional homecoming week due to the pandemic restrictions, we do want to recognize everything that is special about being a Yorkville Fox! For this reason, a district-wide spirit week called Fall Fox Fest is being planned from Oct. 5-8 in order to unite all District 115 students in a special celebration.
Details of the daily events will be sent to families next week. However, to gear up for the festivities, the Yorkville CUSD 115 PTOs have joined together to host a district-wide spirit wear sale from Sept. 18-Oct. 2. Use the link below to view and order items to show your Fox pride, including the official 2020 Fall Fox Fest T-shirt*. In order to receive items prior to the district’s Fall Fox Fest celebration, the order must be placed by September 24. A percentage of all sales goes back to the PTOs. Multiple delivery options are available.
*YHS students will order their 2020 Fall Fox Fest T-shirts directly through the school and NOT through this sale. High school students will receive a link to order shirts through their school emails.
