Food and Nutrition Services

CPS, Food Service Department, strives to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to eat well-balanced, nutritional meals while at school or learning from home.

Charlotte Public Schools continues Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). The great news is all students Grades PRE-K THRU 8TH GRADE will get Breakfast and Lunch for Free this year. A state requirement to participate in Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is that all families at these schools: Galewood, Washington, Parkview, Upper Elementary and Middle School will need to complete the Household Information Report. Please return the report to the main office at your child’s school or mail to: CPS, Food Service Dept. 378 State Street, Charlotte, MI 48813. High School Families please fill out a Free and Reduced Meal Application for 9-12 grades to see if your child may be eligible for Free or Reduced breakfast and lunch.  August 31, 2020, USDA extends Free Breakfast and Lunch to include all High School students, Learning in the Classroom & Virtual Learners until December 31, 2020, or until available funding runs out.  What does this mean?  Starting September 1, 2020, breakfast and lunch will be available at no charge for Charlotte High School Students until further notice.  

A Breakfast and Lunch consist of (1) Main Entree, Fruit, Vegetable, Juice, and Milk.  If you take a second entree, cookie, bottle water, etc. you must pay cash or have money in your account.

Free Grab-N-Go meals are offered for all virtual learners at the High School - Door #24, 12:15 – 1:00 pm daily when school is in session. To qualify for a free breakfast and/or lunch the student must be 18 years old or younger.  The USDA has given us permission to continue with the waiver that the child does not have to be present or eat the meal on site to receive free meals until December 31, 2020 or funds run out.
