School Menus

 

Parents, please be advised menu selections could change based on product availability. Should our Child Nutrition Program have to alter a particular menu, we will notify parents of that change via social media so that parents and students can plan accordingly. 

 

Our mission is to inspire hope and create pathways for student success. Nutrition has the potential to positively influence students' academic performance and behavior, which impacts their ability to be successful in the classroom. For this reason, we will continue to make substitutions when necessary and/or limit menu options in order to continue to feed our students. 

 

Supplemental Purchases

  
 

Alexander City Schools is a community lunch program, meaning all students receive free meals following the policy adopted by the Board of Education and regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, students may make supplemental purchases, including a la carte items, beverages, etc. 

Parents and students must use the My School Bucks program to make all supplemental purchases.  This program allows parents to monitor purchases and add funds electronically.
