Northwood Families. As you know, the COVID situation is very unpredictable. In order to be prepared, the Northwood School District is working to be ready for a potential and temporary closure. Should this happen, free nutritional breakfasts and lunches will once again be provided for any child under 18. In the event we need to transition school from in-person to remote learning we will be prepared to deliver these meals immediately. Meals will be prepared according to the National School Lunch Program guidelines. All families are eligible and encouraged to participate in this free meal opportunity.
Thank you!
