It’s more than meals… Complete meal application by Oct. 21 for added benefits
While breakfast and lunch will be provided at no charge for all GCPS in-person and digital students this school year, it still pays to complete the Free and Reduced-price Meal Application. Confirmed eligibility establishes a number of benefits for individual students such as no- and low-cost access to technology and internet plans. In addition, the percentages of qualifying students at a school are used as a measure to secure additional federal funding (Title I) to support students and their education, promote family engagement, and provide additional technology and internet access. Title I funds pay for additional teachers, Parent Centers, additional learning opportunities for students, extra resources, added technology, and more.
COVID 19 PARENT RESOURCES
This is an important reminder that students who have any type of sickness symptoms (cold, runny nose, fever, nausea, stomach issues, headaches, body aches, etc.) are not permitted to come to school. These are the same guidelines from last school year. In addition, if you are waiting results from a COVID test, please wait for the results of the test before you return to school.
These important GCPS precautions are for the daily health and safety of our students and staff.
Thank you for your support in this important matter!
