Let me get this straight. Schools closed for the safety of the children and to minimize exposure and contamination but the voicemail for my area said that the grab and go meals are 1 per child and you have to bring your child... what’s the point then in closing if Some parents still have to take their kids out to a location that may be filled with more people. I understand they want to make sure the meals are actually going to the kids but there had to be a system if we are supposed to limit socializing and large gatherings.

Take the proper precautions. I'm sure they will have a system when you arrive.

There’s a big difference in your child being in school for 6 plus hours a day and being with you the parent and grabbing a to go lunch. Let’s keep in mind that they don’t have to still provide food for children while they aren’t in school. Whom ever is still providing the food is doing it out of the kindness of their heart. Also keep in mind the people who are spending their time to hand out the food is also risking exposing themselves to the virus. Wash your hands, cover your cough, keep distance of 6 feet while out. Grab and go. And be thankful

@latina593, exactly why the length of time plays a part. It’s limiting your exposure. 🤦♀️ exactly why places have stopped dining in but are still delivering. It’s limited exposure. It’s called social distancing.

@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, groups gathering is not social distancing 🤷🏻♀️. This isn’t a one time thing parents and children will be gathering at the same locations everyday further increasing the exposer. If it was a drivethru system like other places that’s different. That’s not what they are doing here, there are going to be adults and children at rec centers defeating the purpose of this whole thing. Either this thing is big and scary we have to all stay home or it’s not that you can still go and gather in a group.

@latina593, if you’re just picking up a to go meal it’s limited exposure. They aren’t going to party and be in a crowded closed in area. They are picking up a meal and leaving. They are still saying it’s safe to go to the grocery stores, drs, pharmacy etc but use caution and make sure to wash your hands and if you’re sick don’t go. There will still be exposure even if it’s a drive thru. The virus lives on plastic and other surfaces. Someone can have the virus and touch the bag and spread the germ. Someone can cough or sneeze on the bag or container the food is in. It’s always going to be a risk unless you stay home and prepare your own food and don’t go out.

Our school has a drive through meal pickup, they just hand it to you through a window. Another school district nearby has the best idea, they are driving their usual bus routes and dropping meals off to kids standing out in their yards. Even if they don’t ride the bus, They can call and the meals will be dropped off.

Thats a better way to go about it and it limits possible exposure

There is a drive and pickup. So you do not leave the car. Hopefully they have a system going.

Yeah I don’t get it either. Supposedly there’s a lot of school closed but there’s a whole list of schools that are open from 9am-12pm to grab breakfast/lunch plus learning packets. I was going to pick up the learning packet but nope, I’m not risking myself. I’ll just have my daughter do the assignments that her teacher sent me for her to do at home

You can’t just drive through and not get out? That’s what we’re doing. My kids don’t even need to get out. And the schools are not stingy at all. Today they gave me an extra meal for my toddler 😊 I didn’t even have my kids with me, I just asked for 1 meal and she asked if I had any other little ones. I said yes a toddler and she gave it to me. Hopefully your school changes the system.
