Dear Port Jervis Learning Community,
During the “Holiday Pause” beginning November 30, 2020, the district is returning to Phase 1, which is our all remote learning model. During this pause, we are making some changes to the food service program. We will be closing our distribution sites at HBE and the MS locations. Therefore distribution will be outside our HS/ASK location only but we will still continue to provide meals to all those that have signed up for delivery throughout the pause as well.
Meals will be available to be picked up from the HS/ASK building during the hours 10:30 am to 12:00 pm each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We believe that it is important for students to receive meals even during remote instruction. To ensure that all students are able to take advantage of our meals we continue to provide delivery service. After parents enter the request using the form on the main page of our website (www.pjschools.org) they will be added to a route. It will take approximately 3 to 5 business days to add the students to a route, this amount of time is needed to allow the District and transportation company time to process each request to ensure accuracy and review any dietary restrictions. If parents are concerned about their child answering the door we ask that they place a cooler outside the door for the Quality Bus Company employee to leave the meal at your home. If you do not have a cooler and do not answer the door they will not be able to leave the meal to ensure that families do not receive spoiled food as proper food handling procedures are critical to the Port Jervis City School District.
Please feel free to contact the business office, should you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully Yours,
Joseph Lenz
Assistant Superintendent for Business
