Jefferson County Schools continues to support student health and safety during the COVID-19 Pandemic through food distribution to children under safe conditions.   

Thank you for helping us help kids:

Jefferson County Schools is continuing to follow the normal yearly meal schedule. There will be no food distribution during Spring Break, April 6 - April 13.
After the break the regular Child Nutrition Plan will resume, with multi-day food packs being distributed weekly.

Directions for Participating JCS Families:

• For students of Jefferson County only
• Drive-thru Meal Pickup occurs once a week and will include 5 breakfast and lunches per child
• Food Packs are available while supplies last
• Food delivery for the upcoming week will be announced every Friday at jcswv.org
• Food delivery will be once a week at our 7 sites and will occur from 11 a.m. -12:00 p.m. only
• Please have your trunk or hatch open so volunteers may load food. Close it when directed to do so by the volunteer.
• Practice social distancing at all times while in and around the school zone. This means that you need to remain 6 feet away from all but those in your vehicle at all times.
• Families with COVID-19 symptoms or who have tested positive for COVID-19 should find a healthy or non-symptomatic person to pick up their food.
