Families may apply or reapply at any time during the school year. For example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed or experiences financial hardship may become eligible for free and reduced-price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.

While all AASD students had access to healthy school lunches free of charge last school year through the USDA, that program is not available for the 2022-2023 school year. In an effort to make meals as available as possible to our students, we’ve worked to find ways to expand our no-cost meal offerings.

The federal government recently sent information to states about how to design and run a Summer Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer P-EBT) program this summer. This program would provide benefits to families of eligible school-age children and eligible non-school-age children (those who were under age 6 as of 9/1/2021) to help cover the cost of meals between the current school year (2021-2022) and the next school year (2022-2023).

Learn more about paying negative balances, transferring or refunding positive balances, or donating the remainder.

Students and families can use the desktop version or download the mobile app by searching “Nutrislice” in the app store.

If you are requesting a change in the menu due to a special dietary need/disability, please have your physician fill out a Special Dietary Need form and return it to the Food Service Office.
