Many students have been diagnosed with food allergies or health conditions (such as Diabetes and Celiac Disease) that can be life threatening. Those students with food allergies can have a rapid onset full body systemic response to their allergen called Anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal condition. In order to ensure a safe and inclusive learning space for all, Angell is adhering to the following guidelines: ALL class parties or celebrations of any kind will be FOOD FREE events.This includes Halloween, Winter Celebrations, Valentines Day exchanges, birthday favors, etc. End of Year celebrations may include safe and approved food items per teacher discretion. ALL activities and materials must be free of all classroom allergens Students are welcome to bring in non-food items to pass out to classmates instead of birthday treats. (Please coordinate with classroom teacher) Nut Free classrooms will be established in the event a student of that classroom has any nut allergy. All food entering these classrooms must be free of peanuts and tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, macadamias, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, coconut, Brazil nuts, pecans, etc.). Please refer to the snack list below for safe snack ideas. In the event a student is invited into a Nut Free classroom or common area (media center, art room, etc.) for lunch, their lunch MUST BE peanut/tree nut free. In the event that students eat lunch in their nut free classroom, their lunch MUST BE nut free. Students with other allergens will be accommodated on a case by case basis.

Important Information About Free Meals for 2023-24 School Year

Breakfast and Lunch are FREE for all students for the 2023-24 school year.

This important message contains information about free meals for students, how your child can still purchase milk for a fee and where to find lunch menus.

Free Meal Information

For the 2023-24 school year, the State of Michigan created the Michigan School Meals Program allowing all school meals to be free to all students, no matter their free/reduced meal status. However, filling out a free/reduced meal form is very important to families who are eligible and for the District to receive funding.

Family Benefits for Qualifying for Free/Reduced Meals

When families qualify for free/reduced price meals, they are also eligible for the following benefits:

  • Reduced Summer School fees
  • Reduced Athletics Resource Fees for students grades 6-12
  • Reduced field trip fees
  • Reduced AP testing fees
  • Potential additional benefits for Bridge Cards/P-EBT
  • Potential support for household cable/internet
  • Potential programs that provide holiday support

Berkley School District Benefits for Qualifying Free/Reduced Meal Families

Did you know the federal government uses the number of free/reduced meal applications to determine how much money the district receives in grant funding?

  • Berkley School District becomes eligible for federal funds (Title I) when qualifying families fill out their free/reduced meal applications. If families do not fill out their forms, the District is at risk of losing funding for staff who provide critical services to our students.

Visit the Berkley School District’s Food Service webpage to view the paper application, Federal Income Guidelines, and Frequently Asked Questions.

Apply for free/reduced meals through the MISTAR Parent Portal.

Purchasing Milk

Students are welcome to bring meals from home and purchase milk as needed. In order to do this, each student will need funds added to their food service account, or money sent in to pay at the time of purchase. Families can add funds by logging into MISTAR Parent Portal and clicking on “Click to add funds to food service accounts.” Milk can be purchased for 75¢.


Lunch Menus

Lunch menus and detailed nutritional information can be found on the District’s Nutrislice webpage and app. Nutrislice contains details for each meal including ingredients. Contact Berkley Food Service Director, Lavon Larson for more information: Lavon.Larson@berkleyschools.org.

Lunch menu PDFs are posted monthly to the Food Services webpage as well.

Berkley Schools and ARAMARK have teamed up to provide your students with the fuel that they need to have a successful academic career here at Berkley Schools. ARAMARK provides nutritious meals in accordance with USDA standards.
