Grab & Go Lunches
Fort Bend ISD Child Nutrition is pleased to announce that all students; kids and teens the age of 18 months to 18 years old and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old can receive Grab & Go school breakfast and lunch, free of charge! Whether students are learning online or face-to-face meals are free to all at every campus and at our curbside locations; again, they do not have to be a FBISD student to receive free meals..
FBISD Child Nutrition is still strongly encouraging all families to complete a Free & Reduced Meals application at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd; because when we return from Winter Break meals will no longer be free to everyone and regular status of free, reduced or paid will begin. However, this is not required to receive the free meals.
Curbside Grab & Go breakfast and lunch will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., and lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday at the following locations:
- Dulles High School (550 Dulles Ave, Sugar Land, 77478)
- Elkins High School (7007 Knights Ct, Missouri City, 77459)
- Hightower High School (3333 Hurricane Ln., Missouri City, 77459)
- Hodges Bend Middle School (16510 Bissonet St., Houston, 77083)
- Kempner High School (14777 Voss Rd, Sugar Land, 77498)
- McAuliffe Middle School (16650 S Post Oak Rd, Houston, 77053)
- Missouri City Middle School (202 Martin Ln, Missouri City, 77489)
- Ridge Point High School (500 Waters Lake Blvd, Missouri City, 77459)
- Travis High School (11111 Harlem Rd, Richmond, TX 77406)
- Willowridge High School (16301 Chimney Rock Rd., Houston, 77053)
Parents can now pick up meals for students at our curbside meal locations, and must provide one of the following documents:
• Student ID cards
• Individual student report cards
• Attendance record from parent portal of Skyward
• Birth certificate for children
Without one of the listed documents, parents will receive meals for the number of students present with them, on foot or in a vehicle.
Please see links below for the flyer and CND website for additional information.
Face to Face Student Lunches
Students have the option of bringing their own lunch to school or purchasing their own lunch daily.
Out of an abundance of caution while the District operates under pandemic operating procedures, no outside food (pre-packaged or homemade) for students may be brought into schools by delivery from parent/guardian or external vendors. This also includes no outside food for class birthday celebrations (i.e. cupcakes, cookies, etc.).
Cross-contamination and the possibility of a person touching another person’s portion is too great of a risk regarding the spread of Covid-19.
If a student forgets their lunch at home, they may receive a meal from the cafeteria. These will be free of charge through December. Beginning in January, students will be allowed to charge the meal to their account.
Visitors will not be allowed to eat meals with students on campus.
