Important Information Regarding Breakfast & Lunch Accounts !!! Aplington-Parkersburg Schools need our families’ help to make sure we have family lunch accounts paid in full by the end of the year. Please be aware of the following plan for students carrying a negative meal account: Starting Monday, May 7th, any student with a negative breakfast or lunch account will be served an alternate meal plan that includes toast and juice for breakfast and a sandwich, fruit, and milk for lunch.
All negative balances need to be paid by the last day of school. You may access your family meal account balance online. Directions for doing so are on the district’s website: http://www.apl-park.k12.ia.us/ under the “Parent Lunch Account” link. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of our school offices.

If unusual circumstances exit that create substantial risk for negative impact on the child’s social or emotional well- being, the school asks that you contact the counselor or principal to discuss your request your child’s needs. Children are unique and it is our goal to set your child up for success each and every year. Teachers and administration carefully create class lists each year. There are many factors that are considered when placing students, such as mixed abilities, current stages of development, personalities, balance of boys and girls, relatives, mix of students in the same classroom from one year to the next, Title 1, special education, duplicate names, etc. As you can tell there is much thought to which section students are placed. We hope and appreciate that parents will trust the professional opinions of the educators at Aplington-Parkersburg Schools to place their children in homerooms. Welcome to Parkersburg Elementary!
