Prescott School District participates in a free “weekend food” assistance program for students through a partnership with Prescott Food Shelf. This program sends some easy weekend meal items home for a student in his or her own backpack every Friday. This is done confidentially by putting it in their backpack or locker when there are no students in the hallways. The meals sent home are specifically designed to provide additional food that is quick and easy to prepare for the weekend, requiring minimal adult supervision. Parents interested in participating in this program will be able to have each student from their household receive a weekend food package.
Many families are experiencing financial strains that affect the ability to purchase enough food for their growing children. This program is free and confidential and will be handled discreetly. Parents that would like their child to receive the “weekend food” should contact either their school counselor or nurse by phone or email. You may leave a confidential voicemail any time, day or night with any of those staff members. Again, we do need parent/guardian permission to send these food items home each week, so please contact us. Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or sensitivities
