Free and Reduced lunch application reminder:
Please remember that parents are eligible to apply for free or reduced lunches at any time during the school year. IF you have already applied and your income has changed, please reapply. You may apply at paypams.com/applynow (https://paypams.com/onlineapp.aspx) or by paper form that may be obtained at your student’s school. Parents/Guardians may apply as many times throughout the school year as needed. At this time, many of our students have overdrawn accounts and we need to work to clear up these overdrafts as soon as possible. If you applied and did not qualify and your income has not changed, we ask that you work with us to correct the overdrawn lunch accounts. Please call Jennifer Roberts at 205-921-3191 if you have any questions concerning free and reduced lunch applications.
Thank you!
