Students with Special Dietary Needs

Students that have a food allergy or dietary restriction must have a current physician’s statement completed and returned to the Child Nutrition Department every year. If your child has a food allergy or restriction, please print the Physician’s Statement for Students with Special Dietary Needs form, have your child’s physician complete it, and return to the Child Nutrition Department at 622 North Commerce Avenue, Front Royal, VA 22630. 

How do I pay for my student’s meals?

All students will receive free breakfast and lunch meals this school year, however, they will need money on their meal accounts for a la carte items such as chips, extra milk, cookies, and ice cream.

Online: Set up online payments to your child's meal account using My School Bucks. This is the only payment method you can currently use for paying with a bank card. You can view student participation for free with the system, but there is a $2.50 fee per transaction per student to add money onto the meal account.

Check: Make checks out to WCPS Food Service. Provide the check to the cafeteria. Please include the student’s name and ID number in the note portion on the check.

 Cash: Students may bring cash to the cafeteria to deposit onto the student’s account.
