CEP Free Meals for All Students
(Para traducir esta página al español, haga clic en "Language" en el parte superior de este página o desplácese hacia abajo.)
Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Free Meals for All Students
ALL RCPS students will receive school meals FREE of cost for this school year!
This includes breakfast and lunch. Families do not need to submit a Free/Reduced Meal application.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) meal service option that allows schools and districts in high poverty areas to offer meals at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Effective for the 2024-25 school year, Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) is approved for CEP and will provide breakfast and lunch meals to all students at no cost to their families. RCPS will not collect free/reduced meal applications. Students will continue to enter their student numbers in the cafeteria to receive their meals, and all meals must meet the federal requirements for reimbursable meals.
While school meals will be free, students will be allowed to purchase additional à la carte items or supplemental snack items such as juice, ice cream or other treats. Families may continue to use the
My School Bucks
app to pay for these items. Students will not be allowed to charge à la carte or supplemental snack items.
Meals are available for students enrolled in virtual learning. Parents may pick up meals from the homeschool. Please contact your school’s cafeteria manager to arrange for meal pick up.
We are thrilled for the opportunity to offer school meals at no cost to our students and continue to mitigate the risk of food insecurity in our community. Additional information about CEP can be found at the GA DOE Community Eligibility Program page
https://snp.gadoe.org/Programs/Pages/Community-Eligibility-Program-(CEP).aspx

Esto incluye desayuno yalmuerzo. Las familias no necesitan presentar una solicitud para comidas gratis o a precio reducido.
La Disposición de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP) es una opción de servicio de comidas del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares (NSLP) y del Programa de Desayuno Escolar (SBP) que permite a las escuelas y distritos en áreas de alta pobreza ofrecer comidas sin costo para todos los estudiantes matriculados sin necesidad de recolectar solicitudes del hogar. A partir del año escolar 2024-25, las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Rockdale (RCPS) están aprobadas para CEP y proporcionarán desayunos y almuerzos a todos los estudiantes sin costo para sus familias. RCPS no recogerá solicitudes de comidas gratis o a precio reducido. Los estudiantes continuarán ingresando sus números de estudiante en la cafetería para recibir sus comidas, y todas las comidas deben cumplir con los requisitos federales para comidas reembolsables.
Si bien las comidas escolares serán gratuitas, los estudiantes podrán comprar artículos adicionales a la carta como jugo, helado u otras delicias. Las familias pueden seguir usando la aplicación
My School Bucks
para pagar estos artículos. A los estudiantes no se les permitirá cargar artículos a la carta/suplementarios.
También hay comidas gratuitas disponibles para los estudiantes matriculados en el aprendizaje virtual. Los padres pueden recoger las comidas en la escuela local del estudiante. Comuníquese con el gerente de la cafetería de su escuela para coordinar la recogida de comidas.
Estamos encantados de tener la oportunidad de ofrecer comidas escolares sin costo a nuestros estudiantes y continuar mitigando el riesgo de inseguridad alimentaria en nuestra comunidad.
