This year, all FCPS students will be offered one no cost breakfast and lunch per day for the entire school year! Menus will be available online beginning August 18th at
https://fcps.nutrislice.com/menu/.
Grab and Go breakfasts will be available to students in the cafeteria upon arrival each school day.
Please review our precautionary measures that will be taken during lunch.
- Students will be required to wear masks in the cafeteria when not actively eating and drinking.
- Students will need to wear their masks while going through the serving line.
- Students will put their mask back on when they finish their meal.
- Our cafeteria space will be regularly and thoroughly cleaned with a sanitizing solution.
- Students will wash their hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer before and after eating.
This chart below is subject to change per CDC and FCPS guidance.
As 99.5% of staff and students begin to return to buildings and the Delta variant continues to result in an uptick in COVID cases, FCPS’ universal indoor masking requirement is now extended to everyone. The picture above captures the changes.
Governor Northam recently announced universal masking indoors for all K-12 schools so FCPS is aligned with the state mandate.
