It’s time to apply or reapply for Free and Reduced-Price School Meals!
Children need healthy meals to learn. According to experts, school meals programs are linked to improvements in attendance, behavior, academic performance, academic achievement, and decreased tardiness.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers nutritious meals every school day. Your child(ren) may qualify for free or reduced price meals. Students who are approved will either receive free meals or need to pay a nominal price for meals. If you are reapplying, please do so by September 17th to ensure your child continues to receive their meals free or at a reduce fee.
Even if your family participated last year, you will still need to reapply. To see if you qualify or requalify, please visit the FCPS Food & Nutrition Services webpage today (www.fcps.edu/frm).

🗓️ Calendar Reminder: September Special Election
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has set Tuesday, September 9, as the date for a special election in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District. Because more than half of our schools serve as polling locations, the Fairfax County Office of Elections asked us to consider closing for the day. Therefore, all FCPS schools will be closed on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
Read Dr. Reid’s message about this change to the 2025-26 school year calendar.
