Sand Creek Community Schools is excited to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students again for the 2024/2025 school year thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program! Even though meals will be provided for free, it is 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 Benefit Form helps your school with important funding and without this information, Sand Creek Community Schools could lose important state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. These supplemental grants and programs have the potential to offer supports and services for our students including, but not limited to:

• Instructional staff (ex. Reading Interventionists, Math Tutors, Academic & Behavior Aids)

• Teaching supplies and materials

• Counselors and Social Workers

• School Nurses

• Professional Learning for staff

• Parent and Community engagement supplies and activities

• Technology
