Through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) all BCS preschool through 12th grade students receive breakfast and lunch at no cost for the 2026-27 school year.
You can view our breakfast and lunch menus throughout the school year on our school nutrition page.
While breakfast and lunch are free our School Nutrition team offers additional items available for purchase through a la carte program. Money can be added to your student’s account for these items. Learn how to by visiting our school nutrition page.
The BCS Health Services team invites families to bring prescription medications and emergency medicines to their student’s open house. We will provide necessary medical forms, including action plans for allergies, asthma, and seizures, as well as self-carry consents and registration forms.
Kentucky School Vaccine Requirements
Kentucky’s school entry vaccine requirements, modeled after the CDC guidelines, include the following:
- Hepatitis A Vaccine: All students must receive two doses, given 6 months apart.
- Preschool: Students must have a physical exam, eye exam, and complete age-appropriate immunizations.
- Kindergarten: Students must have a physical exam, dental exam, eye exam, and complete age-appropriate immunizations.
- Sixth Grade: Students must update their immunizations and have a physical exam.
- Students 16 and Older: Two doses of the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine are required. If the first dose was administered at age 16 or older, the second dose is not required for school entry.
Prescription Medication Reminder: If your child requires prescription medication at school, please ensure all required medication administration forms and/or action plans are completed by your child’s healthcare provider before Open House. In accordance with state requirements, medications cannot be accepted without the appropriate completed documentation.
For more information about immunizations please visit our Health Services page.
