Food and Nutrition Services
Charlotte Public schools, food service program
- Charlotte Public Schools, Food Service Department strives to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to eat well-balanced, nutritional meals while at school.
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Schools must follow these meal patterns and portion sizes.
- Due to nationwide waivers for federally funded meal programs, schools meals were free to all students through the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, these waivers have expired and schools must return to charging for breakfast and lunch. We encourage all families to complete an application with the Household Information Report each year. This report will be sent out at the start of each school year and is available at your child’s school office or on-line. We ask all Charlotte families to complete an application whether your child would be eligible or not. All application information input is used to determine eligibility for many grants and other money that Charlotte Public Schools receives.
- Please return the completed report to the main office at your child’s school or mail to: CPS, Food Service Dept., 378 State Street, Charlotte, MI 48813.
- For the 2022-23 school year:
We are pleased to announce that Pre-K through 8th grade meals are free with our participation in the CEP (community eligibility program). Charlotte Food Service will be offering meatless meals in the high school and middle school with minimal supply chain disruption.
-
We offer breakfast and lunch at our High School, Middle School, Upper Elementary, & Elementary Schools. Our menu consists of breakfast and lunch: 1 protein, a fruit and vegetable, along with a juice and milk.
- Menus are distributed to the buildings on a monthly basis and are posted on the CPS web page.
