There is a Nationwide Waiver to Allow operation of the Summer Food Service Program through December 31, 2020, or for as long as federal funding is available. This program will follow the school calendar.
The Lead-Deadwood School District has been approved beginning October 1, 2020 to provide Breakfast and Lunch to all children 18 years and younger at no charge.
This waiver facilitates the safe provision of meals by eliminating the need to collect meal payments, thereby reducing contact and potential exposure.
It allows for curbside meal pick-up at the Elementary in Deadwood as well as the High School in Lead for those students that are receiving distance learning services. Students attending school in person will continue with their same meal schedule.
Families are able to pick up both breakfast and lunch. Grab-N-Go meals can be picked up at two locations Monday-Friday when school is in session.
Elementary 10:00 am-11:00 am
High School 10:00 am-11:00 am
Families picking up Grab-N-Go meals will need to complete a pre-order form.

Families are strongly encouraged to continue to complete and submit Free/Reduced Price Applications for School Year 2020-2021 to have on file when the waiver expires December 31, 2020 or when federal funding is no longer available. If families fail to submit an application for school year 2020-2021 their eligibility status will be PAID when the waiver expires.
