New Meal Pickup

Modesto City Schools moved to a once-a-week meal pickup schedule. Pickup times and locations remained the same, however, instead of a daily meal pickup, students receive a week’s worth of breakfasts and lunches at each pickup.

To pick-up meals, you must bring your student’s meal validation card that was mailed to you.
