We feed them everywhere!

You Can Count On Us!

When students left school last March the School Nutrition staff continued to work. The dedicated staff showed up and packed meals with a smile to the families and in return, they received heartfelt thanks and many warm smiles. From March 16th to May 29th over 2.7 million meals were provided by the APS Food & Nutrition Staff. This was no easy task to go from serving in the cafeteria to handing out multiple days meals in a driveup grab and go outside: rain or shine and even in the New Mexico spring winds.

Staff continued to make meals for the City and County summer programs and continued some grab and go sites to accommodate the needs of our community.

We are back! Providing meal packs, one week of breakfast and lunch beginning August 3rd at the following 13 High School locations:

Del Norte HS - Student parking lot off San Mateo Eldorado HS - Student parking lot off Juan Tabo La Cueva HS - Student parking lot off Alameda Manzano HS - Student parking lot off Lomas Sandia HS - Student parking lot off Pennsylvania/Candelaria Atrisco Heritage Academy HS - Student parking lot off 118th Street Cibola HS - Far North student parking lot off Ellison Rio Grande HS - Student parking lot corner off Arenal and Los Faisanes Rd Volcano Vista HS - North Parking lot off Rainbow Blvd West Mesa HS - Parking lot off Glenrio Albuquerque HS - Student parking lot off Odelia Rd Highland HS - Student parking lot off Silver Avenue Valley HS - Drop off loop off Candelaria Rd

The USDA National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program based on household income and family size or one of the categorically eligible programs. For accountability purposes required by USDA, APS will be utilizing meal tickets when students are picking up meal packs or attending a Child Care program that is proving meals under the USDA NSLP once online school begins August 12th.

Preprinted Meal Tickets with the Student’s Name, School ID #, and School Location will be distributed on August 13th and 14th at the school where your student is registered between 7am-9am and 11am-1pm. These tickets will be exchanged for meals for accountability.

Bring the ticket with you to any of the grab and go sites and the school meals will be placed in your trunk. The grab and go sites will be open every Monday* from 11am-12:30 pm and 4-5:30 pm.

*subject to change for holidays and participation.

The Food and Nutrition staff is dedicated to having our students be ready to learn at school or at home.
