Meal Information

It is crucial that families still complete and submit an Education Benefit Form, as the data is used to calculate funding for other at-risk programs. Sharing Information Form

Columbia School District has implemented electronic cash registers called "Meal Magic" in our cafeterias. This new system allows us to set up debit accounts for each student.Parents/Guardians can then send a check to the school for their student’s lunch needs. Meal Magic will then track the amount spent by the student from each day’s meal auto-magically using the student’s name or ID number! We will maintain a record of all your deposits and how the funds are spent. Vending machines are available for use by students in grades 3rd-12th. The machines accept cash or funds from student lunch accounts. To use lunch account funds, the student will enter their student ID number followed by a pin number. Pin numbers are available in the Food Service Office. Students should not share their pin numbers with other students.

Note: If you have more than one student in the district, you can send one check for deposit. Ensure that all student names and the amounts each account is to receive are included on the check.

To use the Family Portal, you will need your student's ID number, which can be obtained from the office or by calling (517) 769-8708. If you want to fill out an application for free or reduced lunches, you can do so at the Family Portal or by picking up a paper application at the school office.

If you have any questions, please call our Food Service Director at (517) 769-8708.

The School Food Guidelines are the result of a collaborative effort of the Coordinated School Health Team and District representatives for Columbia School District. The purpose of the School Food Guidelines Mission Statement is to enable schools to provide healthy and nutritious food and beverage choices to students and staff. The venues include but are not limited to vending machines, a la carte sales, food rewards, fundraisers, school stores, school parties, and after-school activities.  Local Wellness Policy
