2025-2026 Meals Update

Click here for the most up-to-date information regarding October 1, 2025 possible meal changes/costs.

As of today, meals will be provided at no cost through the end of September 2025. We are currently awaiting a legislative decision regarding meal funding for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year. Given this uncertainty, all families need to complete the Free & Reduced Form as soon as possible. If the program transitions back to a paid model, having this form on file will help ensure a smooth and uninterrupted process for the student(s). The Free & Reduced Form is available online at this link:

Bridgman Schools knows why breakfast is so important. That is why we offer breakfast in all of our schools every day.

Breakfast is a great way to give the body the refueling it needs. Kids who eat breakfast tend to eat healthier overall and are more likely to participate in physical activities — two great ways to help maintain a healthy weight. 

Skipping breakfast can make kids feel tired, restless, or irritable. In the morning, their bodies need to refuel for the day ahead after going without food for 8 to 12 hours during sleep. Their mood and energy can drop by mid-morning if they don’t eat at least a small morning meal.

Breakfast can also help keep kids’ weight in check. Breakfast kick-starts the body’s metabolism, the process by which the body converts the fuel in food to energy. And when the metabolism gets moving, the body starts burning calories.  

And breakfast is free to all students this year!

Bridgman Elementary School Breakfast served at 7:30 am.
F.C. Reed Middle School Breakfast served at 7:45 am.
Bridgman High School Breakfast served at 7:30 am.
