Parents or guardians are responsible for payment of their child(ren)’s meal charges. VBCPS Office of Food Services will notify households of negative balances via weekly emails and automated phone calls. Information regarding how to apply for meal benefits will be included in these communications. Benefit eligibility cannot be applied to charges prior to the meal application approval date. Payment for negative debt can be made by cash or check directly to the child(ren)'s account at the school cafeteria or through www.schoolcafe.com. The use of this software platform allows parents to prepay and/or replenish a student's meal account using a credit or debit card via a secure internet site. The VBCPS Office of Food Services may employ various resources to collect negative meal debt.

Free or reduced-priced meals are available to those who qualify. Please know that your child(ren) may be eligible for meal benefits if your income falls within the following Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines for FY 2024-2025.
