Food Service

Welcome to Huron School District's Food Service Department Site. Below you'll find a list of useful link and information regarding food service in the district.

Free and Reduced Meal Application and Instructions

Please note that this form is only good for the current school year. Applications for free and reduced lunch not using the correct form will not be accepted. New applications are made available every July.  Please visit frapps.horizonsolana.com/HURS01 to fill out the Free/Reduced Meal application.

Welcome Back!

For the upcoming 2023-24 school year, the state Michigan has authorized free meals for all students as part of the Michigan School Meals program! This means students 4 yrs. old and above, at public schools will have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast and lunch at no cost throughout the academic year.

 

Michigan School Meals offer a great opportunity for everyone to eat together in the cafeteria and hopefully make it easier for students and families to confidently check breakfast and lunch off their list. We’re excited to serve even more students in the Huron Schools community this year, helping to fuel busy days with favorite menu items and a variety of delicious new recipes!

 

Please note that while breakfast and lunch is free for all, it is still very important for all families to complete the Free/Reduced application.  By doing so this will help ensure ongoing state funding and can qualify our school community for other programs provided by the state.  We are kindly asking that all families take a few minutes and fill out the application online at frapps.horizonsolana.com/HURS01  or in person at your child’s school office.

 

Menus/Nutrislice

Nutrislice will continue to be the source for menus. You may download the Nutrislice app on any smart phone or view it on a web browser. You may also print a weekly or monthly menu from the Nutrislice website. https://huronschools.nutrislice.com/ You may also use Nutrislice to view nutritional & allergen information.

Please keep in mind that menus are always subject to change. W e do our best to adhere to our menus and will update them accordingly. The supply chain is still having issues with production and therefore we may experience some out of stocks. W e ask that you check the online menus daily if you are concerned about allergies or call the food service office at 734-782-1710 for the most up to date information regarding menus.

My Payments Plus

My payments plus is a great resource for Huron families. This service allows you to load money on your student’s account, check account balances and transactions, and it even allows you to set restrictions and account alerts. If you have not yet registered
before, you will need your student’s ID number. You can email me at [email protected] if you need your student’s ID number.

Medical Dietary Restriction

If your child has any allergies or medical dietary restrictions, a Medical Dietary form needs to be filled out every year and sent to the food service office in order to ensure we have the most up to date info at all times. By doing this, we are able to see your child’s dietary needs at the point of service and will be able to ensure your student is only eating meals that are safe for them.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Food Service Department.

Respectfully,

Meal Charging Policy

The Huron School District Food Services Department has an established meal charge policy in place for all students. The purpose of having a meal charging policy enables our schools to establish consistent and clear food service account procedures throughout the district. It allows the district to maintain fiscal integrity and solvency of the food service department while providing meal options that meet the nutritional needs of our students. We understand that although efforts to keep a child’s food service account in a positive standing are there, we understand that there are times where parents may forget or other unforeseen circumstances can occur. Meal charging shall be used as a temporary solution only and do not address a parent/guardian’s inability to pay. In those instances, an application for free or reduced meal benefits should be completed and turned in to the food service office. A la carte purchasing will be suspended for those accounts in the negative.  Parents with students who have a negative balance will receive an email weekly regarding the balance. Depending on the circumstances, parents may receive phone calls regarding the negative account balance. In the event of a lack of communication with the parent, building administration will be notified in an effort to help us reach you. 
We will never make a child dispose of a meal due to a negative balance.  We will never speak to a child regarding a negative balance unless they ask, and we will never do so in a public way.  We understand the balance is the responsibility of the parent and not the child.

The Food Service Department has set goals to ensure the success of the program and they are as follows:
  • To provide our students with a healthy, flavorful meal.
  • To treat all students with dignity and confidentiality in the serving line.
  • To ensure that no child goes hungry.
  • To foster open and clear communication with staff, students and parent/guardians.
  • To maintain the charge policy consistently throughout the district regarding meal charges.
