Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance
It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of the poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year.

Student Device Collection
All FCPS student devices will be collected prior to the end of the school year for inventory and repair over the summer in preparation for the 2026-27 school year. Collection will take place during the school day on Monday, June 15. All devices will be scanned into our system upon return, and you will receive a return receipt to your child’s FCPS Gmail account.
Students participating in ESY or an FCPS sponsored summer program that requires an FCPS device will take their current FCPS/KMES issued device and power supply home with them on the last day of school. Parents/Guardians are responsible for transporting the student’s FCPS device to their respective ESY/FCPS summer program location. All FCPS/KMES issued devices will need to be returned by the parent/guardian to KMES no later than Monday, August 3.
