2024-2025 Parent Letter
Student Nutrition Services Alamogordo Public Schools
Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to introduce the Student Nutrition Service Department at Alamogordo Public Schools. Our mission is to provide healthy, nutritious, and enjoyable meals that adhere to USDA meal pattern standards, ensuring your child receives the best possible nutrition during their school day.
Free Meals for All Students
We are thrilled to announce that every student will receive a free breakfast and a free lunch this school year, thanks to our participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program and the signing of the SB4 bill that states all New Mexico students receive a free breakfast and a free lunch. This means there are no household income applications required for any of our schools.
Cashless Cafeterias
Please note that our cafeterias will not accept cash. To purchase a second meal, milk for a brought lunch, or items from the coffee shop or bookstore, you will need to set up a Linq Connect account with funds available. You can create and manage your account at https://linqconnect.com/. Please be aware money needs to be on the account to make a purchase.
Meal Prices for Second Meals and Adult Meals
Elementary Breakfast: $1.55
Secondary Breakfast (Grades 6-12): $1.85
Elementary Lunch: $2.85
Secondary Lunch (Grades 6-12): $3.00
Adult Breakfast: $2.95
Adult Lunch: $5.50
After-School Program Meals
For students participating in after-school programs, a free dinner will be provided. These dinners will consist of five snack-like components, designed for easy distribution and consumption.
