Meal distribution begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m.
Meals are available at all six of our school buildings, as well as at War Veterans Park, next to VFW Post 1058 in Putnam. Please be patient at these sites, and also mindful of other traffic and possible pedestrians.
ZMHA will distribute meals in their neighborhoods that lie within our district.
All students are encouraged to turn in completed lessons, and can do so at any meal site. Graduating seniors may also drop off completed applications for the Zanesville Alumni Association Scholarship at this time.
Please remember that we prefer drive-ups, but walkers will not be excluded.
All students – especially those who attend ZHS – are highly encouraged to regularly check their school email and Google Classrooms (or similar) for important messages and information.

Also, please remember that all District buildings are CLOSED. Please utilize email for contact purposes.

We hope everyone is doing well, and practicing safe physical distancing procedures. Like all of you, we anxiously await reaching the other side of this crisis and resuming normal operations.
