Meal sites are open for curbside distribution Monday through Friday from 7 to 8 a.m., and from 10:30 a.m. through 1:30 p.m. Meals are free to all children ages 2 to 18 through the end of the 2020-21 school year in June.
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 are posted each month on the school system website, www.ccboe.com, under the School Meals menu.
