The Riverside Community School District will close today (Tuesday March 17) through Friday April 10, 2020, out of concern for COVID-19.  Superintendent Tim Michell says all activities will be cancelled during the time of the closure. Classes are set to resume Monday April 13, 2020. Beginning tomorrow (Wednesday March 18), Mitchell says they will have four distribution points in the district for families who wish to participate in our school food program over this extended cancellation of school. Meals (Breakfast and lunch) will be available at these distribution points each school day from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM.

When you pull up to a distribution point the meals will be brought to your car. If you do not have transportation, please call 712-484-2212 and meals can be delivered to your home. The cost of meals will be deducted from a student’s lunch account. Menus will consist of a fully reimbursable meal. We will apply for a waiver to provide Summer food program that would allow use to give the breakfast and lunch for students up to 18 years old free, that has yet to be approved.

The four distribution centers will be:

• Oakland Elementary School-Door F-East Door on North Side of Building
• Riverside Middle/High School-Front Doors
• Carson Elementary School-Door C on West side of building
• Post Office in Macedonia on Main Street-School Vehicle will be parked on Main Street
