The closure of Washington County Schools from Wednesday March 18 thru Friday March 27, 2020 affects our students and their families in many ways. To help alleviate any anxiety families may have regarding feeding their children, beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020, Washington County Schools' Nutrition Department will have lunch available at four county schools each weekday for any child under the age of 18. 

Federal guidelines dictate that the minor child must be present to receive the free lunch. Each site will feature drive-up, "curb-side service" where cars will drive to the pick-up area and have the lunch handed to the child instead of the children coming into the school. Lunch will be served every weekday from 10 am to 12 pm. The days and sites to pick up the free lunches are subject to change. 

The four sites are as follows: 

1. David Crockett High School
    684 Old State Rte 34, Jonesborough, TN 37659

2. Daniel Boone High School
    1440 Suncrest Dr, Gray, TN 37615

3. Jonesborough Middle School
    308 Forest Dr, Jonesborough, TN 37659 and

4. Boones Creek Elementary School
    132 Highland Church Rd, Johnson City, TN 37615 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call Washington County Schools' Nutrition Department at 423-753-1100. 

"Feeding our students for a brighter future."

In the more than 700,000 meals served each year, the Washington County Schools Nutrition Department offers a variety of nutritional foods that appeal to their number one customer: the student. All meals meet federal guidelines as required by the United States Department of Agriculture because of our participation in the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs. Meals are available to the student at the lowest possible price. Federal subsidies for free and reduced-price meals are available but families must apply for those benefits to determine eligibility.

It is the objective of the Washington County Schools Nutrition Department to provide nutritional meals in an environment that provides an opportunity for sound nutrition education. In order to achieve this goal, school food service has broadened its efforts in nutrition education, personnel training, and in the upgrading of facilities and equipment.
