Thanks to a USDA free meal waiver, American Preparatory Academy will begin offering lunch at no cost to all enrolled students every campus. Free meals must be pre-ordered at least 48 hours in advance.
There is a limit to how many meals we can serve at each campus:
- Draper 1 – 200
- Draper 2 – 450
- Draper 3 – 200
- Salem – 220
- West Valley 1 – 400
- West Valley 2 – 750
Once meals have reached the cap you will not be able to place an order for lunch.
All students are eligible, whether they are learning in the classroom, online or at home. Click here for official news release.
How to Order
All families are asked to follow our normal procedures for ordering lunch:
- Complete an application https://www.americanprep.org/school-lunch-program/eligibility/. Regardless of your status, all lunches will be free.
- Our school lunch staff will set up an account for our online ordering system (on campus) or take your order (off campus)
On Campus Students
Lunch is served to each elementary classroom, and in the Jr. High and High School cafeterias. All meals must be pre-ordered 48 hours in advance. Lunches are provided by a third-party vendor – food is not prepared on site, and is not always available upon demand. All lunches are COLD sack lunches. Microwaves are available for secondary students.

Temporary Benefit
USDA does not guarantee the length of this free meal waiver. They are committing to free meal service through December 31st, 2020 or until current funding runs out. Due to the potential expiration of this waiver, we are encouraging parents to continue applying for free and reduced meal eligibility so that they won’t experience a lapse in benefits.
