Proper nutrition for our students is a top priority for the State of New Jersey and the Woodbridge Township Board of Education. Both breakfast and lunch will be available to all Free and Reduced lunch students; and will also be available for purchase for any student who would like to buy breakfast or lunch. With that in mind, we have come up with the following plan to feed our students during the remote learning period:

1. Pickup will be Monday and Wednesday only from 7:00 am to 9:00 am at the following schools:
a. CHS – Please go to Door #12

Each Monday, two (2) sets of meals will be available; and each Wednesday, three (3) sets of meals will be available. Please note that if for some reason school is not open on Monday or Wednesday, meals will be available the following day school is opened. For instance if school is closed on Monday, meals will be available on Tuesday.

For the first week of school meals will be delivered on the following days due to school starting and the holidays:
