APS Free and Reduced Breakfast and Lunch Program Fall 2025
State funding that provided free lunch and breakfast for all students will continue until September 30th. The State has not passed a new budget at this time, so we don’t know if meals will be funded starting October 1st. Nearly 60% of families in the Alpena Public Schools service area can qualify for free and reduced breakfast and lunch at school. Adequate nutrition is absolutely vital to the daily success of our students. It is shown to improve concentration, mood and behavior for students. Although families won’t have to pay for meals at this time, they must still complete qualification forms for their local school.
Completed forms allow schools to qualify to receive state funding to pay for meals as well as funds for;
Instructional specialist staff (ex. Reading Interventionists, Math Tutors, Academic & Behavior Aids)
Teaching supplies and materials
Counselors and Social Workers
School Nurses
Professional Learning for staff
Parent and Community engagement supplies and activities
Technology for students
Please help your child to have their best opportunity to succeed academically and socially this school year. It is very important for families to complete and return the paperwork needed to continue this option for their students. You can complete it at https://www.alpenaschools.com/page/food-service
or find a downloadable PDF at this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f8lkdfPZvw7nHsQf37XMq70TpZVpgTWo/view?usp=sharing
Any family that needs assistance completing the application can contact their child’s school. If you have questions please contact Food Service Director Rachel James (989) 358-5021 or jamesr@alpenaschools.com.
