Meal Resources for Students (Updated 3-18-2020)

Please note - any and all of these food services are available to Whittier students who live in each of the towns listed below:

Haverhill School Food Services has set up distribution points for all Haverhill based school children, regardless of the school they attend, including Whittier Tech.

They will be offering meals for pick up at 4 sites daily from 11:00 am. – 1:00 pm beginning Monday March 16.

  • The Consentino School – 685 Washington Street

  • The Nettle School – 150 Boardman Street

All children of Haverhill will be served. Each child may take a lunch and a grab-and-go breakfast for the following morning each day. For the most up to date information visit Haverhill Public Schools website, www.haverhill-ps.org

Amesbury has published this information as well.

Ipswich is providing meals at 3 locations - Rosewood Drive, the Winthrop School and Southern Heights. Pickup time is 11:30-12:30. More info is at https://www.ipsk12.net

Georgetown will be providing pre-packaged breakfast and lunch to any student that resides in Georgetown beginning March 23rd. Parents can call 978-352-5777 x105 and leave a message to request meals by noon on 3/18 so they have an idea on how many to make. The meals may be picked up at the Perley School Monday- Friday from 8-10 in the morning.

Merrimac students may pickup grab-and-go meals from the Sweetsir School between 11-1 starting on March 18th.

Groveland and West Newbury students may pickup grab-and-go meals from the Pentucket Regional Middle School between 11-1 starting on March 18th.

Rowley, Newbury/Byfield, and Salisbury (Members of the Triton Regional District) have established a plan that will provide both a grab and go breakfast and lunch for anyone who is need, whether you live in Newbury, Rowley, and Salisbury, daily during the week on Monday through Friday, for the duration of the closure. These grab and go meals will contain prepared, pre-packaged meal components, allowing us to set aside any concerns about added exposure to germs during this pandemic closure. Further, all handling of food, including deliveries by school bus, will be handled by ServSafe trained Food Service workers.

Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18th, we will be offering a grab and go breakfast and a grab and go lunch program (delivered at the same time) to ANY Triton student to be delivered in one of the following ways:

  • For Salisbury Residents: We will be running buses to all the routine bus stops in Salisbury, and you can pick up your breakfast and lunch (delivered at the same time) at your stop. Bus routes will begin at about 8:00 AM each day, and the routes with stops/times is included HERE.

  • For Newbury, Rowley, or Salisbury Residents: You can come to pickup your breakfast/lunch at Salisbury Elementary School. We will have daily (M-F) curbside pickup from 8:00 to 9:00 AM. You will not need to get out of your car for any reason, rather you will simply pull up to the curb and confirm the number of breakfasts/lunches you need and they will be handed to you.

  • For Newbury or Rowley Residents who are unable to pickup at SES, we have partnered with the Boys and Girls Club, and they will be coordinating deliveries to our students in need in Rowley and Newbury who are not able to come to SES to pick up their meals. The survey will provide more information about how to contact the club to arrange your delivery, as more details will be needed.

For anyone wishing to participate, I have included a very brief survey, to be completed anonymously, to assist us in planning for this new meal program and the number of meals we need to prepare. If you are planning to pick up your breakfast/lunch at SES, then the survey is very quick and easy. If you are a Salisbury resident and will get your breakfast/lunch from the delivery by bus routes, we need to know the route you live on. For Newbury or Rowley residents requesting delivery, we have asked for your email address so that we can communicate further details with you about arranging the program with the Boys and Girls Club.

Please complete this survey as soon as possible if you would like to participate:  SURVEY LINK
