We are pleased to inform you that the Melvindale-Northern Allen Park school district will continue participating in the Community Eligibility Provision of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program.

The great news is that all students enrolled in our school district are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household.

It is important that you fill out and sign the Education Benefits Form for Title 1 and 31a Benefits, which is needed for administrative purposes, not to determine eligibility. This survey allows our school to benefit for various State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, at Risk (31a), Title II A, E-rate, etc. This survey is critical in determining the amount of money the district receives from a variety of educational supplemental programs. The survey must be completed and returned to your student(s)’s school as soon as possible.

All information on the survey is confidential. Without your assistance, the school cannot maximize utilization of available State and Federal funds.

The household surveys will be sent home with students.
