Virtual Mustang Round Up
Welcome to Ford Middle School! We are so excited you will be a Ford Mustang this year. Instead of our usual in-person Mustang Roundup Orientation, we have created a few online videos to prepare you to begin the school year virtually.
When we prepare to come back to campus in person, we will provide you with more information related to on-campus procedures and details.
For now, please watch these videos and check our website for the most up to date information.
Allen ISD Curbside Meal Service
In light of increased safety and social distancing standards, Student Nutrition will offer curbside meal service providing meal bundles two times per week for Allen ISD students (K-12) at five school locations. Meals (2 Breakfasts and 2 Lunches) will be offered on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 and on Friday, August 14, 2020 for the first week of At Home Learning at the Tuesday Meal Bundle Prices below. Curbside meals will be offered on Tuesdays (2 Breakfasts and 2 Lunches) and Thursdays (3 Breakfasts and 3 Lunches) after the first week. Meals must be purchased as a complete bundle, and cannot be purchased separately.
All meal bundles will be priced according to the student’s eligibility. Parents and/or students may pick up the meal bundle by providing their student’s ID number. To help ensure a smooth purchasing process, please ensure that there is adequate funding to your child’s PayPams account or purchase meal bundles using cash or check by placing in an envelope with your child’s name and ID and depositing at the curbside meal station at one of the five locations listed below. Students are encouraged to pick up meal bundles at the closest location to their regularly assigned school; however, any Allen ISD student can receive meals at any of the five locations (1 bundle per student per day). Meal Bundle Prices are for All Students (K-12). If students are eligible for Free Lunch, both the Tuesday meal bundle (4 meals) and the Thursday meal bundle (6 meals ) are free. If students are eligible for Reduced Lunch, the Tuesday meal bundle (4 meals) is $1.40 and the Thursday meal bundle (6 meals ) is $2.10. If students are paying regular price for the meals, the Tuesday meal bundle (4 meals) is $7.70 and the Thursday meal bundle (6 meals ) is $11.55.
