    Free and Reduced Lunch Information

    GCPS offers both printed and online options for completion. Please remember a new application must be submitted each school year since the previous year's application will not work. Each new school year brings thousands of applications for the Free and Reduced Price Meal program. Due to the number of applications received an online application turnaround time is faster.

    Charge Policy 

    All students with charges over $5 will be given a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and milk courtesy of the school for lunch for 2 days only. After 2 courtesy meals if the student does not have money on the account then the student will go without breakfast OR lunch. Any student who has applied for free and reduced will need to continue to pay full pay for their meals until the application has been approved. That status is not retroactive and begins the date the application is approved.


    Students who were approved last year will have the first 30 days of school in which to reapply for this school year. Any student who does not reapply will lose their status and go back to full pay in September and will be responsible for all charges. You may fill our a paper copy and send it to the cafeteria or go online to the school website under the cafeteria heading and use the link to the free and reduced form to apply. Students must give the paper applications to the cafeteria employees. Teachers and staff are not responsible for the application reaching the cafeteria. 
     
    Online applications are processed very quickly and reduce the chance of human error.  Adults will not be allowed to charge over $15. Substitute teachers are not allowed to charge.
