K-12 Food Service Program Extended
Food Service Program Update 2021
Jan. 4, 2021

This message is to inform Geneva 304 K-12 families that the Federal Summer Food Service Program has been extended from Dec. 31, 2020, through June 30, 2021. Under this program, all K-12 Geneva 304 students are eligible to receive free meals from the school district. This program, which is supported through the federal government, is designed to support families during the ongoing pandemic.
 
Please read the important details below, which provide reminders on how the meal program works for students at each grade level for both Online-Only Learning and In-Person Learning, from now until June 30, 2021.

Because the SFSP is a temporary program, the District will continue to accept applications for free meals and fee waivers. For more information on the application process, please contact the Business Office at 630-463-3030.

Geneva 304 would like to thank all families for their partnership and flexibility as the food service team strives to provide meals to all students. For more information, please feel free to contact Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Dean Romano at [email protected] or 630-463-3030; or Geneva 304 Food Service General Manager Rick Herwaldt at [email protected] or 630-463-3827.

Online-Only Students (All K-12 Grade Levels):
  • All Online-Only Learning students may participate in a weekly curbside meal service and pick up meals (5 breakfasts and 5 lunches) for the week. Details about the weekly curbside meal service are provided at the bottom of this message.
  • There is no need to order meals in advance for the Curbside Meal Service. Staff will have a supply of meals on hand.

In-Person A/B Schedule Elementary Students:
  • All In-Person elementary students will receive lunch services during their on-site days. Each morning during an on-site day, students will log into the Lunch Request Form and make their lunch and drink selection. All students will have their meal recorded within PushCoin at a price of zero dollars.    
  • Additionally, all In-Person elementary students will be able to participate in a “Curbside Meal Service" and receive 2 or 3 lunches per week (curbside lunches are equal to the number of days they are off-site that week based on their A/B schedule), as well as 5 breakfasts per week. There is no need to order meals in advance for the Curbside Meal Service. Staff will have a supply of meals on hand. Details about the weekly curbside meal service are provided at the bottom of this message. 

In-Person A/B Schedule Secondary Students:
  • All In-Person secondary students (middle/high school) will receive lunch services during their on-site days. Students will be able to pick up a meal and a drink at one of the meal stations provided. A meal record will not be available in PushCoin as a result.  
  • The option for a second entree or an a la carte item may be available to secondary students for purchase at lunchtime. If students choose a second entree or an a la carte item in person, the food service employee will note the charge and the student's account would be charged in PushCoin.  
  • Additionally, all In-Person secondary students will be able to participate in a weekly curbside meal service and receive 2 or 3 lunches per week (curbside lunches are equal to the number of days they are off-site that week based on their A/B schedule), as well as 5 breakfasts per week.
