School meals are planned by registered dietitians to reflect the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and student preferences as determined at student taste parties. Low cost, nutritious lunches are served in every school. Breakfast is offered in most schools, and vending machines are installed and maintained in most schools. For more information, contact the Office of Food and Nutrition Services at 703-813-4800. Complete information on the nutritional content (pdf) of school lunches is available.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers myLunchMoney.com, an online prepayment service, to its students and employees to pay for school breakfasts and lunches. The service enables families and employees to pay for meals with a credit or debit card, check balances, and add funds to their accounts via computer, phone, or fax.

Parents and employees can visit myLunchMoney.com to set up an account by using a student identification number—which can be found on a report card—or, in the case of an employee, the employee number. Credit or debit card information is entered to add funds to the account. Throughout the school year, accounts can be managed and funds can be added electronically or via phone. Personal and payment information is protected by advanced Internet security. A $ 1.95 fee applies each time the customer charges funds to their credit/debit card through the MyLunchMoney.com website.  FCPS meals can still be purchased with cash or personal checks.
