Student Nutrition

Student Nutrition Services Overview

We are looking forward to serving our students healthy, fun nutritious meals that meet the USDA meal pattern standards.

The Alamogordo Public Schools Student Nutrition Services Department provides breakfast and lunch for all students who attend District Schools. The department also provides summer lunch program meals at sites around the city of Alamogordo.

Redefining Campus Dining

Student Nutrition is more than just a sack lunch or a tray from the school cafeteria. It is taking the time to adequately plan, prepare and provide nutrition based on dietary guidelines from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other health professionals to provide your student the best lunch possible. From the moment you walk in one of our dining facilities, you are transported from the hustle and bustle of campus life to the comfort of a friendly neighborhood restaurant - or a trendy downtown food truck. Receive our premiere standard of service and food, but in an atmosphere, that’s been designed to match.

Free & Reduced Meals

All students will receive a free breakfast & a free lunch due to the signing of the State of New Mexico SB-4 Bill. We encourage all households to fill out an income eligibility application to possibly qualify the school for other State and/or Federal programs, plus to also qualify your student for free or reduced priced second meals.

You may apply online at LINQ Connect (formerly Titan) for free or reduced status (one application per household is required). Please use the student's legal name when completing the application. Applications are accepted throughout the school year should there be a change of income, such as reduction/increase in salary, furlough, unemployment, etc., or household size. You may submit a new application at any time.

It may take up to ten (10) calendar days to process (the 10 days do not begin until the application is received at the Student Nutrition Administrative office). A result letter will be mailed to the address on file, showing the results of the application. No cash will be accepted in any cafeteria.

In accordance with federal regulations, Free and Reduced School Meal Applications may be verified at any time during the school year. Selection is random and notices will be sent out by regular mail anytime verification is required. In addition, you have the right to appeal the decision should you disagree with the results of your free/reduced application.

You may request a fair hearing in writing to:

Student Nutrition Services
P.O. Box 650
Alamogordo, NM 88310

If you should have any questions, please call the Student Nutrition Department at (575) 812-6085
