As Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) has made some changes to its meal distribution sites and serving times. The following changes are effective Monday, Nov. 9.
There is no meal service, including mobile meals, on days when students are not in school. Meal sites will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11 and during the Thanksgiving break of Nov. 25-27.
CCPS is providing free meals to children ages 2 to 18 through a waiver to the Summer Food Service Program. Parents picking up curbside meals without a child(ren) present will need to show proof of a child’s age, such as a student identification badge or copy of a report card with the child’s student identification number. If the child is not yet enrolled in CCPS, and is not present during pickup, the parent must show documentation of the child’s age — such as a copy of a birth certificate or a report card from a private school.
Menus are available online and vary each day. CCPS meals may include entrée salads, wraps, sub sandwiches and ready-to-heat pasta entrées with fresh fruit, vegetables and milk. Parents should review the menu daily. Menus and nutritional information is posted monthly on the school system website, www.ccboe.com, under the School Meals menu. Parents of children with food allergies or modified diets should check their child’s meal bag items before serving.
Serving sites include:
