Join Your Child for Lunch
Fairfax County Public Schools does not encourage parents to bring food from fast food restaurants into school cafeterias due to unknown sanitation policies at these fast food restaurants, unknown ingredients (i.e. common allergens), and their likely non-compliance with competitive food and beverage guidelines. Breakfast and lunch food sold by FCPS Food and Nutrition and Services meets USDA standards for school meals. Food sold to students during the school day that is not part of the lunch or breakfast programs must meet Smart Snacks standards, per the 2010 Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and FCPS Wellness Policies. Many fast food items, such as soda and candy, are likely too high in calories, sugar, sodium and/or fat to meet Smart Snacks guidelines. When parents join students at school for lunch, we suggest they purchase lunch from our school cafeterias or bring a nutritious lunch from home.
