Frankenmuth School District is excited to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students starting this new school year, thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program! The Michigan School Meals program was signed into law in the Fiscal Year 2024 Michigan State School Aid Budget. The funding allows for all public school students, grades Pre-K to 12, to eat breakfast and lunch for free.
Michigan School Meals Program – Frequently Asked Questions
*IMPORTANT* Please complete an application! If you qualify for free and/or reduced lunches, based on the below guidelines, please complete a Free and Reduced Application. Even though standard school meals will be provided for free, it is important for families to still submit the appropriate household income documentation in order for students to receive other associated benefits and for our schools to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs to which our students are entitled. Additional benefits for students include reduced fees for AP exams, reduced pay-to-participate fees, and more. This will also provide you with the comfort of knowing you will be covered if the free program is revoked. Applications can be given to the school secretaries or emailed to Cindy Hegenauer at chegenauer@fmuthschools.com.
Please note that “double servings/seconds” and ala carte items are available. These purchases are not covered under the free breakfast and lunch program because they are additional, extra items. Double servings and Ala carte items will be available to purchase with cash or using the student’s Skyward lunch account if funds are available in their account.

When you enrolled in the Frankenmuth School District, and were approved, your child(ren) were assigned a lunch account.
The lunch account is set up as a family account. It will be a shared account with all siblings. For example, if you have $10 in your lunch account and your child Sally, in the elementary school, purchases lunch and James, in the high school, purchases lunch, your ending day lunch account balance would be approximately $5.
Lunch balances are confidential; only parents/guardians and Food Service are able to see balances. Please sign into your Skyward account, click on the Food Service tab (to the left side of the screen) and your balance will be shown. If necessary, you may also contact Food Service to verbally request your balance.
You can give cash or check (made out to FSD) to any FSD school. You can also pay with a credit card online by signing into your Skyward and clicking the Food Service tab (on the left side of the screen) and then click on “Make a Payment”.
It is your personal preference but we suggest $20. You can put in more so you don’t have to think about it too!
If you put the wrong amount in your lunch account, or move and leave the district, you can request a refund of your funds. Just call or email Cindy Hegenauer at 989-652-1937 and/or email chegenauer@fmuthschools.com.
Sometimes children like to indulge in purchasing “extras” whether it be extra milks, entrees, or snacks. Parents/Guardians can see exactly what their child has purchased by signing into your Skyward, clicking on the Food Service tab (on the left side of the screen).
The federal income guidelines have been released for the 2023-2024 school year. Please see the document section of this page for the parent letter and application. Please remember that an application must be submitted every new school year. Take your completed and signed application to any FSD school office or email to Cindy Hegenauer at chegenauer@fmuthschools.com.
