Apply for Free School Meals- Applications are always OPEN!

Circumstances change throughout the school year. To assist you, applications are accepted for the Free or Reduced-Price Meal program at any time during the 2023- 2024 school year. Reduced Priced meal fees are being waived this year, so if you qualify for a Reduced Priced meal, your meals will be free! Visit this webpage for additional information Pinchbeck Elementary PTA - Henrico County, VA - Free and Reduced-Price Meals (membershiptoolkit.com)

Did you know Pinchbeck had 38.11% students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals in 2022-23? If a school exceeds a threshold of 40% students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, under the "Community Eligibility Provision", the entire school will be designated as a free meal school the following year. This is why some neighboring elementary and middle schools near Pinchbeck receive free lunches for all students.
