If a child forgets his lunch money, he/she may charge a regular lunch.. Charges are not allowed for supplemental or ala carte items. Once the charge limit ($11.25) has been met the student may receive a designated alternate meal at no charge as defined by the School Nutrition Program. A charge notice will be completed for each occurrence and notification will be sent home to the parent/guardian through the student. Additionally, once the charge limit has been met the parent/guardian will be notified by the local school via phone call, letter, or email. A charge list will be provided to the Principal at the end of every month and upon request. Charging for meals will not be allowed after April 30th.

Thank you for making sure your child has money in his/her meal account.  Please help us keep down the cost of school lunches by paying charges promptly.

For more information, please read the GCPS Meal Charge Procedures.

Free or reduced lunches are available to children of parents whose income is within certain ranges. GCPS offers both printed and online options for completion.  Please remember a new application must be submitted each school year since the previous year's application will not work. Each new school year brings thousands of applications for the Free and Reduced Price Meal program.  Due to the number of applications received an online application turnaround time is faster.  The online application is available in English and Spanish at the Online Free and Reduced Application site.
