In addition, starting Tuesday, the school system will provide a prepared hot meal for pickup at eleven schools around Roanoke County each weekday from Noon – 12:30 p.m. Those schools are:
- Burlington Elementary

Parents are asked to complete an online form at http://bit.ly/RCPS-COVID19 (click on meals) or parents can call their child’s school to inform the school system of their meal preference (hot pickup meal or drop off bagged meal). Each meal also will include a prepared bagged breakfast. All meals are free.
“We understand students depend on our schools as a reliable source of good nutrition. We are striving to make sure those students have a daily meal,” said Dr. Ken Nicely, Superintendent of Roanoke County Public Schools.
