The 2026–2027 Arkadelphia Public Schools Free and Reduced Meals Application is now open!
We ask that EVERY family complete the application; there are benefits for families and our school district for doing so.
Families receiving meal benefits during the previous school year MUST submit new applications to be eligible for free lunch in the 2026-2027 school year. In Arkansas, all families who qualify for the reduced school meal benefit receive their lunch for free also.

Staff Celebration! 🎉
Let’s start this Friday off by recognizing one of our dedicated Arkadelphia Public School teachers, Karen Ford. In December, 2024, she completed her Bachelor of Science in Special Education at Henderson State University. She was hired that month to begin teaching at Peake Elementary School in the Spring of 2025. She had been working as a paraprofessional in the district up until that time. We are blessed to have Ms. Ford in Arkadelphia Public Schools. Thank you, Karen, for your commitment to making a difference in the lives of children. Have a great school year!
