Middle School and High School Lunches for Remote Learning and Block Schedules
Meals are available for our 7th -12th grade students. For the students who are on block schedules, meals are provided for students in the cafeteria for days they are in person. If you choose to do so, you may pick up a to-go meal through our drive-thru pickup on the days your student is on remote learning. If your child is fully remote you have the option to pick up food each day through the drive-thru.
Meals are available for pick up between 10:00 to 10:30 am. Each meal contains one breakfast and one lunch.
To participate in the to-go meal program starting February 1st, please fill out the following form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkMlY1LnfXi5Otv6cSlYiWX-ma_2ynUGA02CumI0W9A2v91g/viewform?usp=sf_link
Each week I will then send out a new form to the students who have signed up. For block schedules, please only mark the days you will pick up meals. DO NOT mark the days your student is in person. If you are fully remote you may mark all 4 days if you choose to.
Please call or text 719-695-0095 if you would like additional details.
Thank you,

Status of John Mall HS -11/3/2020
Status of John Mall HS: I wish I could give y’all some great news, as well as, tons of facts. I am unable to at this point. This is what I can tell you. The structural engineer came today and took measurements of various wall and floor cracks, ceiling tile movement, roof repair needs etc etc. He stated he believes it to be structural damage due to the foundation in the front of the building dropping (moving) approximately 1 ft. (that is a lot of movement) It could be the weight of the snowpack on the roof or the soil structure itself (he is not sure as yet). He will be bringing other personnel with him, hopefully, in the next few days, to do further in depth studies. He is reluctant to make a statement about the safety of the building thus it is up to me to make a determination so…….. with the information provided to me and without a statement or certificate designating the structure is safe to be inhabited, I will not put anybody in jeopardy of injury or worse. Therefore…we must continue teaching with remote learning until further notice. This could be 1 week, 2 weeks, the rest of the semester or possibly much longer. Nobody shall enter the building until I hear that it is safe to re-enter and declare it as such.
This is going to be a process so please understand and bear with us as we wait for more specific information. Your administrators and I will be trying to develop contingency plans for in person learning but realistically that probably won’t occur until 2nd semester, if need be.
John Mall HS is not to be occupied at this time. Remote learning continues until further notice.
Thank you,
Mike
