UPPER MARLBORO, MD — Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) is gearing up to serve meals to more students during the statewide school closures.
Breakfast, lunch and a snack will be available at 43 sites on weekdays, starting Monday, March 30.
Under relaxed federal guidelines, parents may now pick up the “grab and go” meals. Parents must bring a student ID or report card with them if the student is unable to come to the site.
“We are committed to supporting students and families during this time with the resources they need during this time,” said Dr. Monica Goldson, Chief Executive Officer. “By establishing more meal sites at neighborhood schools, we hope to serve even more students and families.”
There will be 10 new elementary school sites: Bradbury Heights, Brandywine, Carrollton, Glassmanor, Hollywood, James McHenry, Ridgecrest, Riverdale, Robert Frost and Woodridge. Three sites have been closed due to low participation: J. Frank Dent and Longfields elementary schools and Benjamin Stoddert Middle School.
As of Friday, March 27, the school system has served more than 34,000 meals since the sites opened Monday, March 16.
Week 1 — March 16-20: 15,239
Week 2 — March 23-27: 18,953
Total meals served: 34,192
Meals are available from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students may pick up the meals and snack in one visit. Parents and guardians are not required to accompany students nor are students required to show ID.
The meals program launched with nine sites for lunch and it was later expanded to include breakfast and a snack at 36 sites.
