VALERIUS WEEKLY DIGEST

Teachers worked hard to pack all materials needed through winter break. There is no need for a parent pick up on Friday.

The Iowa Department of Education approved our online waiver extension application which means students will continue learning all online from Friday, December 4, 2020 through Thursday, December 17, 2020.

We’d like to provide an update regarding the dates and times our Nutrition Services Team will be providing meals for children beginning Monday, December 7 through Thursday, December 17, 2020.

Breakfast & Lunch 12/7/20 – 12/17/20:

• Meals are for all children 18 years and under; children do not need to be present when picking up meals.
• All meals are free (no charge).
• There is no sign-up required in order to pick up meals during this timeframe.
• Meals are for pick-up only and are not to be consumed on site.
• We are providing meals on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays at the following locations and times:
  • Jensen & Valerius: 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
  • Karen Acres & Bristol Ridge Apartments (behind Fareway): 11:40 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
  • Webster, Urbandale Middle School & Urbandale High School: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
