Lunch

  • LCPS School Nutrition has some exciting news! Based on the number of students attending Thomas Jefferson Elementary who are eligible for free or reduced meals, we are able to implement the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that breakfast and lunch will be offered to ALL students attending the school at no charge.
  • Families may still put money in their child’s meal account for any “extras”. Money may be added by sending cash/check in a sealed envelope with your child’s name on it and marked for the Cafeteria. Families may also use the MySchoolBucks website to add money to the account.
