East Grand Rapids Food Service
2010-2011

East Grand Rapids Public Schools will now be providing nutritional services through a Joint Operating Agreement with the Grand Rapids Public Schools.  Grand Rapids Public Schools will provide all services for the program with the exception of the local preparation and serving of food to our students, which will be handled by East Grand Rapids school employees.  The district is excited to start this partnership, which we feel will provide an excellent nutritional program to our students and be self-sufficient financially.

Student Accounts
On-line access to your student’s meal account is now available through MealpayPlus (www.mealpayplus.com).  MealpayPlus provides free ability to check account balances, monitor purchases, and receive e-mail notifications when an account reaches a low balance.  For a small fee, deposits can be made into student accounts.  Please click here to for additional information.

Free and Reduced Applications
Applications for Free and Reduced meals will be available in the front office of each school building.  Instructions for filling out the application will be provided along with the application.  Students who were Free and Reduced eligible last year will have their status carried over to this school year; however, a new application will be required each year after this to maintain eligibility.
