Whitefield Elementary School

Our meal deliveries will begin on Wednesday, July 7th and then will continue on a Wednesday and Friday schedule until August 13th The delivery format this summer will vary a bit from last summer. On Wednesdays, meals (breakfasts & lunches) will be delivered with the new RSU #12 Food Service Van. It is very recognizable - white with decorative markings. The Wednesday delivery schedule will begin at 8:00 AM and the van will follow Mr. Bronn and Mr. Brann's routes first. After completing those deliveries, the staff will return to school to refill the vehicle and will then deliver meals to Mr. Davis and Mr. Cote's bus routes. Those of you on the second half of this route need to look for your Wednesday delivery a little later in the morning. Friday deliveries will continue to be made using school buses and they'll be leaving the school also at 8:00 AM. One bus will cover Mr. Bronn and Mr. Brann's bus routes and the other bus will cover Mr. Davis and Mr. Cote's routes. THose families on the Davis / Cote bus routes can look for your Friday delivery at little bit earlier than on Wednesday. Some considerations for the 2021 Summer: If possible, please either have a family member come out and meet the delivery individual or leave a cooler or a tote out so that meals can be kept away from the heat or animals that might be in the area. There will be perishable materials in these deliveries and we want all food to arrive at homes safely. Please contact Ashley Burdick (aburdick@svrsu.org) if you have questions or wish to be removed from our delivery list. Students who go to daycare at the Boys/Girls Club in Chelsea will be receiving their meals at the school and no home deliveries will be made. Those students who are participating in the Camp Chelsea program will receive their meals on Monday-Thursday through the program but will receive home food deliveries on Fridays. Students who are participating in either the Title 1 Summer Program or the Special Education ESY Program here at WHES will receive their meals here on the days that they attend (Title 1 meets Monday-Thursday & ESY meets on Tuesday-Thursday). All of those students who have signed up for meal delivery will receive a Friday delivery at home. Once again we, as a district, are delighted to be able to offer this Summer Meal Program to our families. Lots of hard work and effort will be expended to make sure good food gets out to all of those requesting it. Please let us know if there are issues with our delivery service.
