Comstock Public Schools is pleased to announce that all Comstock school buildings are participating in an option available to schools as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
The GREAT NEWS is that ALL students enrolled at our schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at NO CHARGE to their household. This eliminates the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. Student will still pay cash, or use a meal account, for additional purchases. Additional purchases include second entrees, bottled beverages, a la carte items, and snacks, to name a few.
The district is asking families to fill out and sign a Household Information Survey, which is needed for administrative purposes, but does not determine eligibility for school meals. This survey is critical in determining the amount of money the school receives from a variety of other State and Federal programs.
If you have questions about this program, please contact the Comstock Food Service Office at 269-250-8719, or reach out to Holly Wait, Director of Dining Services for Chartwells School Dining Services, via e-mail.
At Chartwells School Dining Services, nourishing students is not only
our business; it is our commitment to the communities in which we
serve. We want to make sure students achieve their full potential.
Best Regards,
Holly Wait
