Grand Ledge Public Schools is excited to offer free breakfast and free lunch to all students this school year – thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program!
Even though meals will be free, it's important for families who think they qualify for free and reduced lunch benefits to continue to fill out the Free and Reduced Application. The Michigan Department of Education shared a table in a press release to help families see if they may qualify
The information collected from the application for the Michigan School Meals Program is used to provide additional services and benefits beyond just school meals. The information is needed to ensure students get all the benefits they are entitled to and so schools receives state and federal funding for educational programs. Without this information, Grand Ledge Public Schools could lose critical funding for educational programs that help our students.
By filling out the School Meals Application, your child may also qualify for other benefits such as:
Summer EBT money
School sports fees waived
Programs that provide food support
Programs that assist with school fees
Potential household support for cable and internet
The free and reduced benefit application, which is now called Summer EBT and Education Benefits for Michigan School Meals, is located at https://grandledge.familyportal.cloud
Paper applications are also available in all school offices or by calling the food service office at 517-925-5733.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Darrin Gyurich at 517-925-5733.
Thanks, Darrin Gyurich GLPS Food Service Manager
