Good Afternoon Verona Families! We are working on plans to continue offering free breakfast and lunch to our students. We will offer grab and go style breakfast and lunch beginning tomorrow, Wednesday March 18th from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. The meals are free to any child between the ages of 1 and 18. The child must be present to receive the meal. In other words, you cannot send a child or an adult in to pick-up the food for the group. The meals must be picked up by the child for which it is intended. We understand that for students living outside the city limits, meal pick-up may not be an option due to transportation issues. In this case, we are offering meal drop off to those students traditionally on our bus routes. Meal drop off will be done by volunteers. Therefore, we ask that you only request drop-off delivery if it is your only options. The drop-off procedure is similar to the pick-up procedure in the fact, that students must be present at the drop-off location to receive meals. Please call Verona High School if you plan to participate in the free breakfast and lunch service during this time of unexpected school closure. Meals will be offered Monday – Thursday from 11 to noon. The meal package will include lunch for the day and breakfast for the following morning for each child. You must call the office to let us know how many children in your household will need a meal package and whether you will be picking it up or need it delivered. Call 1-833-402-9580

Hello Wildcats, Verona school district will be closing effective March 17th through April 2nd at the recommendation of the Berry Lawrence Health department and in conjunction with the Department of Education. District personnel will reevaluate the situation on April 2nd. We take this step with heavy hearts, but must take proper steps to ensure the safety and well being of our students and staff. We will be reviewing options to provide "Grab and Go" meals; more details will follow tomorrow. The expectation from the state level is the district continue to reach our students in an educational manner. Elementary students will come home with some items to work on, along with staff using on-line sources to reach students. Please be patient as we develop this plan. All grade level staff will meet tomorrow to cement the on-line educational interaction that we hope to achieve. During this unprecedented time we find ourselves, we will focus on the positive that we are doing our best to keep our Wildcat family safe. School will dismiss today March 16th at 3:45, like normal.
