Student Fasting Meal Kits
February 28 - March 28, 2025
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a new, first-time
waiver allowing students fasting during the school day from February 28 to
March 28, 2025, to request take-home breakfast and lunch meal kits. The
Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) will provide meal kits reflecting
the school menu. Meals will be kept cold and must be heated at home.
Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day. If a student
purchases breakfast or lunch at school, they cannot pick up a kit that day.
Meal kits must be picked up by students at the end of the school day—
adults cannot collect them.
Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS
FNS website by the deadlines:
• February 24, 2025, for February 28 and the week of March 3, 2025
• March 3, 2025, for the week of March 10, 2025
• March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025
• March 17, 2025, for the week of March 24, 202
Forms must be submitted on time to receive meal kits for the following
week.
