Take-Home Meals Available for Students Observing Ramadan

Charlottesville City Schools will offer take-home meals for students observing Ramadan in order to support the diverse needs of our student community.

In lieu of receiving lunch at school, students observing Ramadan can sign up to pick up a shelf-stable meal to take home at the end of the day.

Register by Week (Fill out separate forms for each student)Have questions or need help registering? Staff at your school can help! Please reach out to your teacher, school counselor, or school social worker.
