Eat Breakfast at School!
Mornings can be really crazy…the alarm doesn’t go off…the kids don’t want to get up…there’s no time to eat breakfast before the bus comes…or they’re just not ready to eat. Or maybe your teenager grabs a can of soda and a candy bar on the way to school. If this sounds like your house, we have good news for you.
Breakfast is served at school! School breakfast will energize your child’s day and provide them with a healthy start. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can learn more in class, and has plenty of vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
Breakfast at school is affordable, too. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. You can’t find a healthy breakfast at such a low cost anywhere else.
So help your child start the day right with school breakfast!
Desayuno en la Escuela!
Las mañanas pueden ser algo difíciles…la alarma no suena…los niños no se quieren levantar…no hay tiempo para desayunar, el bus ya va llegando…o quizás los niños no tienen hambre. O tal vez el joven se lleva un chocolate y una soda para comer en camino a la escuela. Si esto pasa en tu casa, ¡tenemos buenas noticias!
¡Los niños pueden desayunar en la escuela! Sus niños pueden comenzar el día saludablemente al comer el desayuno en la escuela. Un desayuno saludable ayuda a los estudiantes estar más alertos, y así aprender más. El desayuno tiene vitaminas y nutrientes para un cuerpo fuerte y saludable.
Y el desayuno en las escuelas no cuesta mucho. Si ya calificas para comidas gratis o comidas a precio reducido, también calificas para el Programa de Desayunos Escolares, y no tienes que llenar más formularios. No encontrarás un desayuno saludable a tan bajo precio en otro lugar.
¡Ayuda a tu niño a comenzar el día bien con desayunos escolares!

Students desiring Individual meal components and refusing to select a reimbursable meal will be charged a la carte for selected food items. A la carte purchases cannot be charged.
If a student transfers from a CEP school to a non-CEP school, their free meal benefits are valid for 10 school days, allowing the parent/guardian to apply for meal benefits. As of the 11th school day, the student will be charged the full price for reimbursable meals if an approved meal application is not on file.
Please do not complete a meal application if your child is enrolled at a CEP school for the 2024-2025 school year.
Free and Reduced Price Meals:
You may complete a 2024-2025 school year meal application online beginning August 5, 2024. Meal benefits from the 2023-2024 school year will carry over for the first 30 operating days of the 2024-2025 school year. This allows time for families to reapply. Parents/guardians may complete a meal application online at MySchoolApps.com, or they may complete a paper application. Paper applications are available at the main office of all schools except CEP-approved schools and the Food Service Office. A new application must completed each year (unless the student is directly certified by the Virginia Department of Social Services) or will be enrolled in a CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) approved school for the 2024-2025 school year. Only the 2024-2025 school year version of the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application will be accepted. Meal applications are accepted anytime during the school year. Upon receipt, processing can take up to 10 days.
· Only one meal application is needed per household
· For the 2024-2025 school year, the cost of reduced-price meals is being waived; therefore, students approved for reduced-price meals will not be charged for a reimbursable meal.
· Students are entitled to one reimbursable breakfast and one reimbursable lunch per student per school day.
· Students refusing to select a reimbursable meal must pay the la carte price for each item on their tray.
· Students with a second meal will be charged the a la carte price.
· A la carte purchases cannot be charged.
· Students who consume breakfast or lunch from home must pay the a la carte price for individual menu components (for example, milk, fruit, etc.). A la carte items cannot be charged.
