Notice from Nutrition Services

Greetings ACSD Parents and Guardians

It is our pleasure to announce that school breakfasts and lunches are still free for all students for the upcoming school year. Also new this year is that we are asking families to fill out a Household Income Data Collection form (there is no longer required free & reduced forms). Although these are not mandatory, family income information helps us qualify for over $475,000 to assist with nutrition, literacy, math, science and other vital programing. The form is user friendly and fully confidential and can be done online. To fill out the form please click on the link below.

You can also find this form in other languages at this link.

Please contact Steven Marinelli, Food Service Director with any questions or concerns
