Welcome to the Albertville City Schools Child Nutrition Program! The mission of our Child Nutrition Program supports our system's educational goal to provide Albertville students with excellent experiences while in our care. We know that students who are well-fed are ready to learn, making it our responsibilty to provide all students with high-quality, nutritious and appealing meals each time they come through our cafeterias. As we serve our students daily, we will happily do so in a safe, supportive and encouraging environment. In Albertville City Schools, we offer breakfast and lunch meals to our students, all of which meet nutritional requirements for children as set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For the school year 2022-2023, free or reduced price meals are provided for students whose families meet income guidelines. One application will qualify all students in a household as long as the students are listed on the application. Applications are available online through a link on our district site www.albertk12.org or directly accessed at https://tinyurl.com/mpp36rut. Paper applications are available upon request at each school office, school cafeteria, or at the Board Office.
Online payment options will be available at the end of August, 2022. The link for payment is on the www.albertk12.org website, under the “Titan Family Portal” tab within the Child Nutrition Department. The link will connect parents to the Titan Family Portal where it is possible to make payments, set student spending limits, view tranaction history, see menus, and adjust settings for email notifications of account balance. There are convenience fees associated with making payments ($2.60 per transaction) but not with using the website for information and emails.
Meals are provided to students in an “offer vs. serve” format which allows them to decline up to two food items on the tray. A fruit or vegetable serving is required at both meals for the meal to be considered reimbursable. Monthly menus are posted on the system website, www.albertk12.org to help families in making decisions about meals in advance of the school day. The Titan Family Portal (https://family.titank12.com/SKATP5) will also have online versions of the school menu, which includes nutritional information. Printed copies will be available upon request.
