Since announcing that all schools will be closed from through April 3 due to COVID-19, Springfield Public Schools educators and support staff have been planning and organizing alternative programs to support students and their families during the closure.
One way SPS will support families in the midst of these challenging circumstances is to offer free breakfast and lunch for students.
Beginning today (Monday), students may pick up grab-and-go meals at any SPS school. This service is offered Monday through Friday between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The meals will be distributed outside the school so individuals may drive or walk up to receive them.
This week, SPS teachers will also begin calling students' homes to conduct wellness checks. This will help connect families with available resources and identify other needed support.
Ensuring learning continues for all students is a priority. On Monday, March 30, and continuing through April 3, learning for all SPS students in grades K-12 will resume with resources provided for use at home while school facilities are closed. More details will be provided to families later this week.
