Food Services

Research shows that students who receive proper nutrition do better in school.  It is our goal to ensure that all students have access to a healthy breakfast and lunch while at school. 

District 7 participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. What this means is that there will be NO CHARGE to your student(s) for breakfast or lunch.  
 
In order to receive funding for supplemental programs, we ask that ALL families fill out and sign the Household Information Report.  This will enable supplemental support and services for our students.
 
Online payments to Food Service Accounts can still be made to enable your student the opportunity to purchase ala carte and snack items. Payments can be made online, or money can be turned into the office at your child's school. Payments must be made through MISTAR Parent Portal/Parent Connect, so that balance information is accurate. If you wish to make a payment to your child’s food service account, go to the Parent Portal/Parent Connect. You will need your PIN and Password. If you do not have this information, contact the office where your child attends school.
 
If you need further assistance please contact our Food Services Department at 313-203-0343 or Charleen Cotton via email at [email protected]. You may also reach our Chartwells Food Service Director, Paul Daniels, at 313-203-3197 or via email at [email protected].
