Free and Reduced-price Meals (FARMS) Applications for Non-CEP Schools
Apply online NOW so students receive free meals on the first day of school!
Households meeting federal income standards are eligible for free school meals, and students who qualify for reduced-price meals will continue to receive meals at no cost. To receive this benefit, a new FARMS application must be completed every school year. Please submit the online FARMS application through www.MySchoolApps.com. Only one application is needed for all students in a household.
Meal Prices, Payment Policy, and Procedures for Non-CEP Schools
There are no changes in meal prices this school year. Funds can be added to student meal accounts at no charge by bringing cash, check, or money order directly to school cafeteria managers. Payments to student meal accounts can be made through www.MySchoolBucks.com.
Breakfast: $1.30 (All levels), Lunch: $2.55 (Elementary), $2.80 (Middle and High)
Parents/guardians are responsible for school cafeteria account balances incurred by their student(s), and MCPS must collect unpaid school cafeteria charges. The Meal Payment Policy details payment responsibilities.
