Free School Meals for All Students Has Ended
When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue supporting this program.
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them this fall, but you must take action to make it happen. Please complete the 2022-2023 online application
Completing an application is the only way to be considered for free or reduced meals next school year.
For assistance, don't hesitate to get in touch with our Food Service Department at 989-923-5062.

Schools of Choice applications for the 2022-2023 school year are now available on the MPS website. This includes applications for non-resident students and in-district transfer students.
