Some school Districts in the Greater Danbury area are modifying school lunch pick ups.  Newtown Public Schools is offering box lunches for families who are in need of providing students with a healthy meal. Box lunches will be available for pick up on Mondays and Wednesdays between 8am and noon at Head O'Meadow Elementary School main entrance, Newtown Middle School A Gym horseshoe driveway and Newtown High School, main entrance.  Each box lunch will contain a sandwich, a fruit, a vegetable, and bottle of water. Monday pickups are for lunches on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and Wednesday pickups are for lunches on Thursday and Friday.  Every Wednesday, Newtown parents will receive an email with a link to a Google survey, which should be filled out with the number of students in the household in need and the location to pick the lunches up.

The Bethel Public School District has got approval from the State Department of Education to modify the meals program during the COVID 19 pandemic. Staff will be operating Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am to noon at Berry School. Parents/Guardians will get a breakfast and lunch per child for a two day period. This will allow Bethel students to receive six days worth of meals as Friday pick up will be for Friday and Saturday. The protocols for pick up will be the same.
