This message is intended for parents of students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade, as well as those families accessing our meal service. High school information came directly from Dr. Gilbreth to students' email today and can also be found here.
We understand Mayor Shaw issued a stay at home order, in effect until April 20th.
Education is considered essential in the ordinance; therefore, we will still be able to provide meals and learning packets for pick up. Please continue to follow safe social distancing. Remain in your car and speak clearly where staff can hear you in order to meet your meal and learning packet needs through our drive-up service.
Beginning Monday, April 6th, the food service department will be switching up the menu to include a larger variety of items to help battle menu fatigue.
Some of these new items will need to be heated in an oven, microwave, toaster oven, etc. If you do NOT have access to one of these cooking methods and need to request special meals of cold-only items, please contact food service at 625-5318 ext 2303.
In addition, meals will NOT be served on April 10th, as school was already scheduled to be out. Therefore, three days’ worth of meals will be provided at Thursday's pick-up.
Additionally, on Monday, April 6th, families with devices and Internet access will start seeing weekly videos and learning opportunities from their child's teacher online.

If homes do not have Internet access, most will be able to pick up learning packets each Monday from your child's school between 11 am-12 pm.
Your child’s school may also communicate additional pick up times, if needed. Please request the grade level packet you need during pick up.
It will provide learning opportunities for the week. We will also make most learning packets available on the district website that any parent can access online.
Joplin Schools wants to first ensure our families are safe and supported, and secondly provide learning opportunities for your home. We realize that each home has different challenges during this time and want you to know that we are here to support the various family needs. Some may find it possible to follow several learning activities each day, while some may just encourage daily reading time.
Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our students. Joplin Schools is here for you and at a minimum, we hope to connect with you regularly to check-in and see how we can help. Stay safe! Stay healthy! Take care Eagle Nation!
Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented time.
