CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES

Buckingham County Public Schools' Child Nutrition Services is operated under the federally funded School Nutrition Program. Nutrition is an essential part of the education process.  Studies show that well-nourished students are better prepared to learn. The School Nutrition Program strives to provide nutritious meals to our students, and we are committed to making nutritious meals available to every child in Buckingham County Public Schools.  We work to ensure that our students receive courteous service and attractive, well-balanced meals every day.

Buckingham County PreSchool, Buckingham Primary,

and Buckingham Elementary

We are pleased to inform you that Buckingham County PreSchool, Buckingham Primary, and Buckingham Elementary will be participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for 2018-2019 School Year.

What does this mean for you and your children attending the school(s) identified above?

Great news for you and your students!  All enrolled students of Buckingham County PreSchool, Buckingham Primary, and Buckingham Elementary are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2018-2019 school year.  No further action is required of you.  Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application.

If your child(ren) transfer(s) from a CEP to a non-CEP school within Buckingham County Public Schools and the student is not eligible for free meals by direct certification, a household income application for free and reduced-price meal benefits must be completed and submitted to the school within 10 days of enrollment in the new school.  An eligibility determination will be made and the parent will be notified. BCMS Second Chance Breakfast New at BCMS for the 2018-2019 school year is the Second Chance Breakfast. Second Chance Breakfast is a full school breakfast served between 1st and 2nd periods. Students can purchase breakfast from a special mobile cart and eat in their 2nd-period class. Click on the link below for further details BCMS Second Chance Breakfast Flyer
