Meal boxes may be picked up in “drive-through” style on Tuesdays at two locations – Hereford High School (8-8:30 a.m.) and Carroll Manor Elementary School (12-12:30 p.m.) – and on Thursdays at Kingsville Elementary School (12-12:30 p.m.)

BCPS Summer School

All students attending summer school this year from July 7-31 will receive free breakfast and lunch each day Monday through Thursday. There is no registration needed for the meals; all children enrolled in summer school will receive free meals.
