Free Summer Meals with RCPS!
Roanoke City Public Schools will offer free summer meals to children ages 18 years or younger June 8-July 31 through the USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Dates and times will vary by location.
The Gators have all the information you need! Take a look around!
When dropping off and picking up your students please take the appropriate route so that you can safely pick up your children. When traveling on Garden City Blvd. Please turn down Mabry Ave, followed by a right on Ventnor Road, and then a right on Imlay. From Imlay, you will turn right into the school car rider pick-up line. This will assure that traffic does not accumulate onto Garden City Blvd and will keep all of us safe. Please remain in your car as there will be several staff members, including our SRO there to help and assist.
If you arrive after 7:15 a.m. you must accompany your student into the building as we will no longer have staff members outside to assist your students inside the building.
All afternoon transportation changes must be made before 1:20.
Please direct your questions to our main office at 540-853-2971
Thank you!
