Food Service

Vicksburg Community Schools is excited to once again offer free breakfast and lunch to all students for the 2024-2025 school year thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program! 

No action is needed for the free breakfast and lunch this year. However, if students would like to purchase à la carte items they will be able to do so as long as they have money in their food service account. Parents can view their balances, add money and set up email alerts in the Family Portal. Choose “my account” to add funds. 

New this year: the Education Benefits Form. This form is used to determine eligibility for state benefits for which your child(ren)'s school may qualify. 

Even though meals will be provided for free, it's important for families to continue sharing household income information in order for our schools to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. The Education Benefits forms are used to determine funding for several VCS programs. Every application that is not submitted means lost educational programs and resources for our students. 

Please log into your Family Portal and click on the “apply for benefits” button to complete the form. The simple application can help make sure VCS gets the support we need. Or if you prefer, you can print, complete, sign, and return this form to your child's school. 

Access School Lunch Accounts

By clicking the link above, parents and guardians can enter the Family Portal where they can view student lunch activity, make credit card deposits and check student balances.

First time users will have to create an account. You will need the following information handy in order to access information about your student: Student ID Number and Student Birth Date. Note: If the student ID number begins with a ZERO, delete that zero.

Click here for the Spanish Language version of the Education Benefit Form.



If your student has an allergy or needs special meal accommodations, please print out the Special Diet Guide Form and have a doctor fill it out completely. 

Once filled out, please return to sdyer@vicksburgschools.org

If you have questions or concerns, please call or email Sarah Dyer, VCS Food Service Director at sdyer@vicksburgschools.org or (269) 321-1033.
