Cafe Checkout Procedure
In accordance with the free/reduced lunch program guidelines, the first breakfast and lunch provided to eligible students* will be at no cost. Subsequent meals will incur a charge. ACPA upholds a policy of ensuring that no student is denied meals; however, it is strongly recommended that parents establish spending limits on their child's account to manage spending. This can be done through the creation of an account at linqconnect.com.
Moreover, ACPA will refrain from charging accounts for snacks or à la carte items unless there are sufficient funds available. Automatic notifications will be sent to students whose account balances reach or exceed -$40 threshold periodically.
*Eligible students include those receiving benefits through the Free & Reduced Lunch program

The mission of the Cafe is to provide nutrient-dense, diverse, made-from-scratch meals to students and to accommodate a wide variety of dietary preferences such as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free.
The ACPA Cafe utilizes the Linq Connect school meal system, which allows families to manage their student's account and apply for free/reduced meals, all online. To access these features, please use the links above.
