Michigan School Meals

Fowlerville Community Schools is excited to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students starting this new school year thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program! Even though meals will be provided for free, it's important for families to continue sharing household income information in order for our schools to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to.

Federal guidelines are very clear that students may only receive a free or reduced price for a complete meal. Students choosing partial meals or snacks will be charged full price. Your child's school FNS Manager will be happy to assist you or your family with questions regarding a complete meal.

Student Account Information

Upon enrollment, all students are assigned a cafeteria account. This is a debit account. Parents send in payment by check payable to Food and Nutrition Services which is deposited in the student's account. When a student makes any cafeteria purchase, the amount is automatically deducted from the account.

If you have more than one student in the district, all their account deposits can now be made with one check. Be sure to indicate the amounts to be deposited and the account numbers. Our account system provides complete anonymity to students eligible for free and reduced price meals. A student's paying status is coded in their account and the appropriate price is automatically deducted.
