Breakfast and Lunch for Students During Summertime

The Greater Amsterdam School District is committed to continuing to serve our students meals during the summertime.  The District will provide “grab and go” meals to families in July and August. The following schools are open from 11 a.m.- 12:30 p.m., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (2 lunches and w breakfasts will be handed out on Mondays and Wednesdays and 3 lunches and 3 breakfasts will be handed out on Fridays) throughout the summer.

We still encourage face masks to be worn when coming for the pick up and we ask that only one person per family comes to pick up the meals.

 

  • Amsterdam High School
  • McNulty Academy
  • Additionally three school buses are sent out into the community to distribute meals on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays as well:

Meal Deliveries by School Bus

The District will have tents at each pickup location for “drive-thru” like service to keep you safe as well as District staff members. Please look for a representative or sign indicating where meals can be picked up at the above locations. Your student will need to provide their name and school they attend. If your student is not with you, you still will need to provide the student’s name and school they attend.  

Our  No. 1 goal is to ensure each and every student is provided with a meal and we will do our best to make this happen.  These are uncharted waters for all of us, so please rest assured the District will adapt as quickly as we can to accommodate our children.  If you have any questions or concerns, the District has established an email schoolmeals@gasd.org

Please feel free to reach out to us and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
