INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Public Schools students will still be able to get free meals while they are learning virtually. The IPS Food Service Team will provide breakfast and lunch to all IPS students four days a week, beginning Aug. 17. Meals are only available to students enrolled in IPS schools.

Students or parents and guardians will have to provide the student's name, grade and school they attend. Student IDs will now be required, but will help speed up the process during meal pick-up.

Meals will be served along the following guidelines:

  • Prepackaged meals will be served at many locations, including Arsenal Tech, Crispus Attucks, George Washington, Manual and Shortridge high schools.
  • Students/parents/guardians are only allowed to pick up meals two times per week — for a total of five days’ worth of meals.
  • On Mondays and Tuesdays, two days’ worth of meals will be distributed. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, three days’ worth of meals will be distributed.
