All Students Receive Free School Meals

Bristol Tennessee City Schools participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which provides free breakfast and lunch to all students at no cost without families having to submit a meal application. 

For our packers and snack grazers, we offer a breakfast grab n go bag that contains an apple, juice box, Doritos, and string cheese (or goldfish honey bun crackers), and milk if desired. This is not traditional breakfast...and that is A-ok. Not all students like to eat a traditional breakfast. This can be eaten later in the morning or in place of a snack basket. As always, we will continue to serve traditional breakfast items as well. Our packers can also grab a milk, fruit and vegetable to accent their packed lunch at no charge!

Free Meals through Community Eligibility Provision Announcement

Students may still purchase food items outside the reimbursable meals, such as a la carte items. For these additional purchases, parents may continue to upload money to their child’s account via MySchoolBucks (see below). Students may also pay cash. No credit or debit cards are accepted.


Online Payment via MySchoolBucks.com

Our district offers parents the ability to fund their child's meal account from any internet connection. In addition to funding the account, parents can view 7 days of account history and set spending limits for their child.

If you establish an account and make one deposit to the account, you can view your child's account balance and seven-day history an unlimited number of times in the future without making additional deposits.
