Free and Reduced Price Meals (FARMS) Applications

Apply online

Households meeting identified federal income standards are eligible for free school meals. MCPS encourages all families who may be eligible, to apply. To receive this benefit, a new FARMS application must be completed every school year. Please submit the online FARMS application through www.MySchoolApps.com. Students not newly qualified for free meals will be charged the following meal prices. Only one application is needed for all students in a household.

Meal prices: Breakfast—$1.30; Lunch—$2.55 (Elementary), $2.80 (Middle and High)

Students who qualify for reduced-price meals will receive meals at no charge!

Students use their MCPS ID number when receiving a meal, so confidentiality is maintained and no child is overtly identified as receiving free or reduced-price meals. Funds can continue to be added to student meal accounts at no charge by bringing cash or checks directly to the school cafeteria managers. There will be an increase in the transaction fee from $1.95 to $2.49 per transaction associated when adding funds to student meal accounts using the online My School Bucks software.

Dual Enrollment

Through the Dual Enrollment program, eligible students can earn MCPS and college credit simultaneously by successfully completing Montgomery College’s rigorous courses while in high school. The classes come at no cost to students for two courses in the Fall and Spring semesters! A high school grant is available if more classes are desired, but students must meet eligibility requirements. MC credits are transferable to public universities across the country! Students are encouraged to verify the respective policies of their desired private institutions. Save money and time by getting started on your college journey. Students can take courses at their own pace. Visit bit.ly/nhsdualenrollment for more information.
