Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

Menus

Ducketts Lane Elementary School's school menu can be accessed through the LINQ Connect portal or mobile app. Families do not need a LINQ account to view menus, which are available to the public.

Free and Reduced Meals (FARMs)

HCPSS participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Students from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals. Parents/guardians must submit a new application every school year to maintain their student’s eligibility. To apply, go to the HCPSS FARMs webpage.

Prices

Ducketts Lane Elementary School is part of the Maryland Meals for Achievement (MMFA) program where students receive free breakfast. Lunch is $2.80 per meal.

Payment

Meal payments may be made via credit card using the LINQ Connect portal. On-site payments and prepayments may be made using cash or check. Parents/guardians will need to create an account to make online payments to their child’s meal account, monitor their child’s account, schedule automatic recurring payments, set up low balance alerts, submit a Free and Reduced Meals program application, and more.

Telemedicine 

The School Based Wellness Centers (SBWC) Telemedicine Program has  reopened.  The program will focus on children who do not have health insurance and/or a medical provider. Since the children and students are in their homes, we will not have the use of the telemedicine carts and will be unable to examine ears or perform throat cultures. Parents and guardians may call our office or send an email (information on attached flyers) and program staff will determine if the health complaint can be safely evaluated and if not, assist them in finding a medical provider to see the child in person. There will be no charge for any of the SBWC Telemedicine visits. However, children must be enrolled or willing to enroll in the SBWC Program.

Appointments will be offered on Mondays from 8:00 to 12:00 and Wednesdays from 8:00 to 4:00 for any non-urgent medical concerns. 

Telemedicine visits are NOT appropriate for emergency care. If your child is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.

Symptoms Appropriate for Telemedicine: Behavior and development, eating/nutrition/weight issues, sleep disturbances, eye problems, painful menstrual periods, stomach aches, vomiting/diarrhea, constipation, cough and congestion, depression/anxiety, rashes/insect bites/minor burns/sores, runny nose, muscle and joint injuries, asthma management and follow up
