Special prescription meals can be prepared for students with disabilities requiring special nutrition needs. APS Food and Nutrition Services will make modifications and substitutions to the regular school meals for a student with a disability that restricts their diet. The APS Healthcare Provider Special Diet Authorization Form must be completed and signed by a physician for a student with a disability before the school cafeteria can provide any modifications or substitutions. The completed form must be provided to the Food and Nutrition Services Department, including the school cafeteria manager and the Dietitian. The school cafeteria staff will prepare the meal along with the other meals being served that day.
To apply for special dietary needs meals, complete the forms on the Dietary Needs Webpage
