Food & Nutrition

Breakfast and lunch are served every day that school is in session. Upon arrival, students who wish to purchase breakfast go straight to the cafeteria. At lunch, students will remain in the cafeteria for 30 minutes. Students may bring a bag lunch from home or purchase a lunch from the cafeteria. If buying lunch, a student may pay by cash or check or you may put money in an account. 

Breakfast and Lunch menus and costs can be found on the FCPS Nutrition Website. Prepaying for meals and snacks is timesaving and easy: www.myschoolbucks.com.  Free and reduced-price meals are available to families who qualify. A new Meal Benefit Application is required every year. Meal Benefit Applications are online at https://linqconnect.com.

A full list of prices can be found at this link (printable price list). Students may also purchase additional snacks and drinks. School Bucks accounts can be used to add money to your child’s account.  You will need to set up a new account if you have not used this before.  The student’s name and ID number (which you can get from the office) are required.  A payment in any amount may be placed in the child’s account.  

Free and Reduced cost lunches are offered to those families who qualify.  Applications and guidelines can be found at the following link:  https://www.fcpsnutrition.com/index.php?page=lunchapps&sid=1496937421390.  This application can be completed at any time if your situation changes throughout the year.  

Lunch periods are 30 minutes long.  Staff members are available to assist with opening packaging or drink containers, but it is helpful if you work with your child to learn to do this by himself/herself.  Students may not share food.
