Tucson Unified School District employees and teachers pass out educational packets, lunches and breakfasts to students and families at Harold Steele Elementary School, 700 S. Sarnoff Dr., in Tucson, Ariz., on March 31, 2020.

Due to schools being canceled, because of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), TUSD is offering educational packets to help students learn and parents and teachers teach while out of the classroom, according to Karla Escamilla, TUSD public information officer. The packets, made for all grades K-12, include TUSD's curriculum for all classes from science, history, math, etc. TUSD plans to have most of the paperwork online in the next couple of weeks, said Escamilla, as well as issue laptops to students who don't have access to a computer.

TUSD is also offering free grab-and-go lunches and breakfast, which started on March 23rd, to students from Monday through Friday between 10am and 1pm. Buses deliver the grab-and-go items at 113 locations along a total of 12 bus routes. On average, TUSD is serving 3,700 breakfasts and lunches daily, according to Escamilla.

A list of the bus schedule, as well as the educational packets, can be found on TUSD's website, tusd1.org.
