Mooresville Schools Offer Lunch Pickup, Delivery During Reopening

MOORESVILLE, NC — Mooresville Graded School District won't reopen schools with in-classroom education, but that doesn't mean students will go unfed during nine weeks of Plan C education.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, MGSD said it will offer lunches by bus and through curbside pickup offerings at South Elementary School, Park View Elementary School and Mooresville Intermediate School.

MGSD said its nutrition program is regulated by the USDA, which has not extended its free community meal program into the 2020-2021 school year.

As a result, free breakfasts and lunches will only be provided to students with an approved Free or Reduced Price Meal application on file.

After Aug. 31, breakfasts will cost $1, lunches for kindergarteners through sixth graders will cost $2.15, and lunches for students in grades seven through 12 will cost $2.40.

To sign up for meal delivery or pickup, parents can visit the school's Nutrislice website to view menus and set up an online ordering account. Payments must be made online.

Applications for the Free and Reduced Meal program can also be submitted online. MGSD reminds families that new applications for the program must be submitted each year.

The school asks that inquiries be directed to the Child Nutrition Department at 704-658-2639.
