School Meals Update

In effort to help our families plan, Allendale School Board has approved serving free meals to all students until October 31, 2025, in the event the Michigan Legislature does not resolve the budget by September 30, 2025. The Board wanted to provide some certainty for the month of October. Please help reduce the financial burden to the district by completing the Education and Nutrition Benefit form. If your family qualifies the district would receive the Federal reimbursement lowering the cost to the district. Application

In addition, the Federal program will allow Allendale to provide all Reduced qualifying students as Free, regardless of the legislatures decision to continue Michigan Meals or not. This rule applies
only when a district meets Federal criteria, which Allendale does for this school year. It is very important that you submit an application this year, please click the link above! Email Jodi Brouwer
