Student Nutrition

The NMPED Student Success and Wellness Bureau is happy to announce the release of the Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) website and application!

Directly certified students who are currently participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and in some cases, Medicaid (not all categories of Medicaid qualify) are automatically enrolled to receive a SUN Bucks card with the $120 benefit per student.

Students who are Homeless/Runaway, Foster, Migrant, and Head Start are also automatically enrolled and do not have to apply.

All other students who are not categorically eligible, including students attending a CEP school, will need to apply to participate in the SUN Bucks EBT program.

SPECIAL DIET MEAL ACCOMMODATIONS 
Parents/Guardians need to contact the Health Office at their student's school site to start the process for a special diet request.  In addition, as a part of our special diet meal protocols, parents, please ensure your student's Titan account is set up, so when they are being served, it will alert the cafeteria team to watch to ensure all special diet meal accommodations are met.  Here is the link to the Titan Portal: https://family.titank12.com. You will need to have your student’s FMS-issued identification number to complete this process.

ALA CARTE OFFERINGS

We do offer a smart snacks program at both our middle and high school locations to accompany meal services (offerings may vary from site to site).   FMS Student Nutrition Department strongly encourages all parents/guardians to create an account in the Linq Family Portal to fund their student’s meal accounts so we can lessen the frequency of handling money at the point of service during the pandemic.  Meal accounts can be set up for all students regardless of meal status.  All à la carte purchases are transacted and posted to the student’s meal account.  Ala carte items cannot be charged to a student's account.  Here is the link to the Linq Portal: https://linqconnect.com/main

Food Service/Restaurant Example:

Nutrient information is approximate based on current product and recipe data in the utilized menu software and supplier information. While we make every effort to obtain the most current nutrient ingredient data and allergen information, it’s possible that a manufacturer may change their formulation without the recipe analyst’s knowledge.

Nutrition information provided on this website about our menu items is based on standardized recipes, representative values provided by the supplier, analysis using industry-standard software, published resources, or testing conducted in accredited laboratories, and is expressed in values based on federal rounding and other applicable regulations.
