Grab-n-go meals approved for 2022-23

Posted on 08/23/2022

Uintah School District has received a waiver from the state that will allow the district to offer grab-n-go meals on Fridays this year with specific conditions.

There is no in-person learning option on the first three Fridays of the school year. Teachers and staff will be attending professional development sessions on these days, so students will complete their work online on Aug. 26, Sept. 2 and Sept. 9.

For these three Fridays, grab-n-go breakfast and lunch will be available at Ashley Elementary School only for every USD student who is enrolled in a "brick and mortar school."

Grab-n-go breakfast will be offered from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and grab-n-go lunch will be offered from 11 a.m. to 11:15am. Students will be charged according to their free, reduced, or full pay meal status.

Kids who are not enrolled in a "brick and mortar school," which includes Uintah Online, can purchase breakfast for $2.55 and lunch for $4.50. Adults can also purchase a meal for the same price.

Beginning Sept. 16, school breakfast will be offered to kids on Fridays when they arrive at school, just like any other school day. Students who are learning in-person on Fridays will be able to take a grab-n-go lunch home, just like they did on Fridays last year.

Curbside meals will be available only from Ashley Elementary for all USD student who are enrolled in a "brick and mortar school" but have chosen to learn virtually on Friday.

Grab-n-go breakfast will be offered at Ashley Elementary from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and grab-n-go lunch will be offered from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Students will be charged according to their free, reduced, or full pay meal status.

Kids who are not enrolled in a "brick and mortar school," which includes Uintah Online, can purchase breakfast for $2.55 and lunch for $4.50. Adults can also purchase a meal for the same price.

Those who want a grab-n-go meal should fill out this order form. This will ensure that kitchen staff prepares enough grab-n-go meals each Friday while helping to eliminate food waste.
