Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Schools

School Year 2025-2026

CEP is a universal meal plan under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), permitting eligible schools to provide the initial meal service to those students at no charge, regardless of economic status. 

  • All DCPS students receive free breakfast, as well as supper and snack at participating schools.
  • Students attending the CEP schools listed below will also receive their FIRST lunch at no cost.
  • Additional lunch meals or à la carte items will incur a charge, and meal accounts must have a positive balance to make purchases.
  • DCPS FNS encourages parents/guardians of students who do not attend a CEP school to complete the Free and Reduced Meal (FARM) application. Households with students attending a CEP school are not required to submit a FARM application, but may do so if they choose.
