Public Schools Resume Virtual Learning Jan. 7, Feeding Initiative Resumes Jan. 20

January 5, 2020

The Virgin Islands Department of Education will resume virtual learning for all public-school students on Jan. 7 and its ‘No V.I. Child Goes Hungry’ Feeding Initiative will resume on Jan. 20 in both school districts. Additionally, January 25 will mark the start of a hybrid model of instruction, with some student groups returning to school campuses, while others continue to learn from home. 

Breakfast and lunch will be available for pick-up at 9 a.m. at all distribution sites, Mon.-Fri., until supplies last. The feeding initiative does not operate on holidays and weekends. 

Additional reeducation training on COVID-19, conducted by Department of Health professionals, has been scheduled for food service workers, school bus drivers and school monitors prior to the restart of the feeding program. These employees will also undergo COVID-19 testing.  

All kitchens servicing the feeding program will receive specialized deep cleaning by COVID-19-certified contracted cleaners, focusing on detailed sanitization of all kitchen areas. 

Parents or guardians picking up meals should note the following:  

ST. CROIX DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION SITES – 9 a.m. weekdays, until supplies last  

 

ST. JOHN DISTRIBUTION SITES - 9 a.m. weekdays, until supplies last  

 

ST. THOMAS DISTRIBUTION SITES - 9 a.m. weekdays, until supplies last
