(Updated 3/16) To better accommodate students, the Juneau School District is adding Glacier Valley and Floyd Dryden to the distribution schedule starting March 17. Food is available for any student at any school.

Look for First Student buses in the parking lots of designated schools. First Student staff will greet students and provide pre-packaged breakfast and lunch meals. Small groups will maintain social distancing as students receive their take-home meals.

For families utilizing school food services, the Juneau School District will provide free food beginning Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27. Food will be available for any child 18 years of age or younger at established food service sites. Due to federal guidelines, students must be present when picking up the food.

First Student buses will be located in the parking lots of each distribution site (see list below). First Student staff will greet students upon arrival and provide their pre-packaged breakfast and lunch meals. Small groups will be maintained in the process to minimize the gathering of crowds as students receive their take-home meals. Beginning Monday, March 16, meals will be available at the following distribution sites (any student can pick up food at any site; does not have to be their specific school site):

8 a.m. – 11 a.m. Weekdays
• Sayeik: Gastineau Elementary School
• Harborview Elementary School
• Riverbend Elementary School
• Dzantik’i Heeni Middle School

9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Weekdays
• Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé
• Thunder Mountain High School

This effort is possible through a partnership between the Juneau School District, NANA Management Services, and First Student.
