Cafeteria/School Nutrition

 Cafeteria

Due to the expiration of USDA waivers, Effective June 30, 2022, the School Nutrition Program will now transition to pre-pandemic operations.

While meals are no longer available at no charge to all students, GCPS has made a few changes to assist our students and families as we transition away from the USDA waivers.

If you think your child may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, it is important to complete your School Meal Application this year, as federal funding to provide meals at no charge for all students-regardless of income or application-ended on June 30, 2022.
