BOE Votes to return to the Classroom
February 22, 2021 - Students have the option to resume face-to-face learning beginning Monday, February 22. This decision does not end a family's or student's preference for virtual learning, but instead gives the additional choice for families to move forward with in-person instruction. More information about the plans at each individual building.
MeAL DISTRIBUTION - February, 2021
The return to virtual instruction means that we also have a change in our meal distribution plans. Beginning November 17, we will be distributing meals ONLY at Comstock High School on Wednesdays from 11:30 to 1 p.m.

COVID-19 SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD HELP
The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (P-EBT) provides temporary funding to address emergency food needs for families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is on top of meals currently being provided by our food service department.
P-EBT food assistance benefits will go to Michigan families with students ages 5-18 that are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. This includes families currently receiving Food Assistance Program benefits, as well as those not currently enrolled in the program. No application is necessary for eligible families to receive P-EBT benefits.
