Bloomingdale Public Schools

Food Service

Due to a program from the United States Department of Agriculture and Michigan School Meals we can offer all of Bloomingdale Public Schools K – 12 students free breakfast and lunch this school year 2024 - 2025. 

We are hoping that all student families will take advantage of this opportunity, the more participants we have in the meal program will allow us the ability to continue this program in the future.  Bloomingdale Public School students do not need to complete a free/reduced lunch application this school year, however, to help with funding other school programs a household survey will be sent home and should be completed by families.

We will be offering breakfast at the start of each school day to students.  Elementary students will receive breakfast in their cafeteria and middle/high school students can get breakfast at the start of the school day in the cafeteria.  All breakfast is free for all students at Bloomingdale Public Schools. 

Lunches will be served in the cafeteria and students will be eating in there also.  We are excited for all the food options we will have for the students this year.  Please contact us if you have any questions about the lunch program.

Again, to help with funding other school program please complete a household survey for your students.  Only one survey per household will need to be completed and these will be sent home at the start of the school year.

 Sincerely,

Carrie Gumpert
Food Service Director
