Los Alamos Public Schools is pleased to offer free breakfast and lunch to all of our students. As we transition to feeding all of our students, we would like to highlight some items for you. Breakfast at our elementary schools will be a sack option to ensure all students who want a meal are served in a timely manner.

Free lunch service will be available for all Los Alamos Public Schools. This will be a serve option that meets the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) guidelines for each grade level. During the fall semester none of our school sites will serve a la carte options. This is so we can ensure that our food service partner is able to focus on quality, speed of service and presentation. Students are still able to bring a lunch from home if that is their preference.

If a student has a dietary need (this includes vegan requests), this must be communicated with the school site nurse. The school site will inform our food service partner so they can prepare the requested meal for the student. In addition to our one hot lunch option, the district will offer a sack lunch option as well. You can view menus online at https://laschools.nutrislice.com/menu. The August menu will be posted no later than August 7, 2023.

Even though all students can participate in the breakfast and lunch program we are asking that families fill out the free and reduced meal program application. This is important as our free and reduced numbers are used for other important funding opportunities which support the district and our students. Please use the online option at www.schoolcafe.com.

If you are unable to complete the online option please download a copy of the Free and Reduced Meal Program application. Email the completed form to s.salazar@laschools.net.
