Food Service

At Plainwell Community Schools, we feed our students tasty and nutritious lunches. Breakfast and lunch are served at all buildings throughout the district. All meals include: one entrée, milk, and as many fruits and vegetables as each student would like during that meal period.

2023/24 School Year

New this year! The Michigan School Meals program was signed into law, allowing all public school students, Pre-K through 12th grade, to eat breakfast and lunch FREE for the 2023/24 school year! To participate, we highly encourage all families to complete the free & reduced application.
