Food distribution schedule for South Country Schools

Superintendent of South Country School District Joseph Giani announced the upcoming schedule for food distribution for families in need during school closures due to the coronavirus. He released the following message Monday: 

This message is from Dr. Giani, Superintendent of Schools with an update regarding the distribution of food during the mandated two-week school closure.

The District has made arrangements for distributing food to all families in need beginning tomorrow, March 17th.

Distribution will occur Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the following locations.

· Bellport High School
· Frank P. Long Intermediate School
· Verne Critz Elementary School

Distribution will be “Grab-and-Go” with curb-side pickup to prevent group gatherings. Included in each grab-and-go will be two breakfast and two lunch meals.

When you arrive at the site, simply state how many school-age children in your family, and you will be provided a two-day supply for each student.

This service is being provided for ANY family in need and we encourage all to take advantage of the food availability.

As a reminder, during this time of closure, we encourage our entire learning community to be safe, and practice social distancing.

We will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to help prevent the spread of this illness and to protect the health and safety of our school community.
