MEAL CHARGE POLICY EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024
The Food Service Department is pleased to announce that all Cedar Springs Public Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the 2024-2025 school year. This means all students enrolled at Cedar Springs Public Schools can receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE.

À la carte items are available to purchase at an additional cost. Students must have a positive account balance to charge À la carte items.

Households are required to fill out the Education Benefits Form at cedarsprings.familyportal.cloud. Parents may also use the family portal to view account balances, meal history, and add funds to their student(s) account.
At the end of the school year, any remaining funds will be carried over to the next school year unless the parent/guardian requests a refund in writing.

If you have any questions please contact Holly Haywood, Food Service Director, at 616-696-0372 or holly.haywood@csredhawks.org.

Sincerely,
Holly Haywood
