Snack Payment

School Nutrition

Fredericksburg City Public Schools provides free breakfast and lunch to all students each school day. Families do not need to complete an application, create a payment account, or add money to an account for students to receive free school meals.

 

Additional Purchases

Students at the secondary level may purchase additional snacks and à la carte items. These optional purchases are not included with free school meals and must be paid for using funds in the student’s meal account.

FCPS staff members may also purchase school lunches.
