Food Service:
We now have the ability to provide free breakfast and lunch to all P-12 students in our district. In an even greater effort to assist our families during this uncertain time, Southmont Schools will begin mobile meal service on Friday, March 20.
Southmont Schools will utilize our Transportation Department alongside our food service provider, Chartwells, to deliver meals once per week. Families who sign up for our mobile meal service will receive five breakfasts and five lunches for each student. Delivery will occur between 8:30-10:30 a.m. on March 20. Registration for the March 20 meal delivery is now closed.
Onsite meal service at Southmont High School and Ladoga Elementary School will be discontinued effective Friday, March 20. Please keep in mind there will be no mobile meal service over spring break, March 23-27. In the event of an extended closure, we will update you on future delivery days and times.
