Michigan Education Benefits Form

We need Eagle Nation!

What is the Education Benefits Form?

The Education Benefits form is a household form for families to complete. Even though our district will be serving meals at no cost to all this year, we still need every family to complete this form, as it is used to determine how much education funding our district will receive.

Why should I fill out the Education Benefits Form?

School Funding: We need all families to fill out this form so that our district receives the necessary resources to continue to provide all students with the highest quality education, including funding for things like computers, books, school supplies, and more.
Technology Funding: Our district receives more funding for internet access and computers.
Grocery Benefits: Filling out this form may help provide your family with money for groceries through P-EBT.
SAT, ACT, and AP Test Discounts: If your household qualifies, you can receive discounts for academic testing.
College Application Discounts: If your household qualifies, you can receive discounts for college application fees.
Athletics: If your household qualifies, you may receive discounts for fees associated with participating in athletics.

How do I access the Education Benefits Form?

A printed form can be obtained from the school office, it can be downloaded below, or it can be completed online in Meal Magic.

Do I need to fill out the Education Benefits Form for each student?

No, only one (1) form per household needs to be completed. Please include the names of all students enrolled in our district on the form.

Is the information I provide on the Education Benefits Form confidential?

Yes, the personal information you provide on the Household Information Report is kept strictly confidential.

Wellness Statement

The Board of Education recognizes that good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health and well-being of the District's students. Furthermore, research concludes that there is a positive correlation between a student's health and well-being and his/her ability to learn. Moreover, schools can play an important role in the developmental process by which students establish their health and nutrition habits by providing nutritious meals and snacks through the schools' meal programs, by supporting the development of good eating habits, and by promoting increased physical activity both in and out of school.
