Dear Parent or Guardian:

As we move forward into the 2024-25 school year, due to the budget recommendations proposed by Governor Whitmer, the District will again be providing both breakfast and lunch meals to all students without cost to families. However, we are still required to provide and maintain Free and Reduced Lunch Applications , as submitted. A la carte items will be available to purchase if there are funds in the student’s account. The Food Service Department will now be using MySchoolBucks.

Families are encouraged to continue to fill out the Free and Reduced Meal/Summer EBT/Educational Benefit Application online. (A new application is required at the beginning of each school year.) Your application ensures that the Troy School District will continue to receive state and federal funding for education. Without this information, Troy Schools could lose important state funding for our programs that our students are entitled to. All information submitted is strictly confidential.
