Summer Food Program
Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Caro School Food Service Department is very happy to announce that we will be running a Summer Food Program!!
Summer meals for children and teens are available this summer from June 20, 2024 to August 15, 2024. Participating in our Summer Food Program for your family not only saves you time and money spent grocery shopping and meal prepping; it also helps support our school and community.
Summer Meals Program Details:
Meals are free for children and teens ages 18 and under.
- Online ordering form is open every Sunday from 7:30am-6:00pm (due to high volume participation, we had to set a maximum meal count at 1200. You will receive an email informing you if your order cannot be completed.)
- 5 days of breakfast and lunch meals
- Pick up will be every Thursday between 12pm-6pm at Caro High School
- Please do not place multiple orders in one person’s name, if you are ordering/picking up for someone else, the order needs to be in their name. Double orders will be deleted
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN THAT ARE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, WE ONLY HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND IF WE GO OVER THE NUMBER, WE WILL NEED TO CLOSE THE ORDERING FORM EARLY. Due to the high participation in our summer food program, we can no longer provide 7-day meals, instead we will be providing 5-day meals to be able to accommodate everyone. Our Online Meal Order form can be accessed below. We are providing 5 days of breakfast and lunch meals per child, that you will need to pick up every Thursday from 12pm to 6pm (please note that we have changed our pick-up time on Thursday to accommodate the high volume.)
Summer Online Meal Order Form

Food Allergy Action Plan
Due to new State of Michigan regulations, if your student cannot have milk or any milk products due to an allergy or sensitivity, the school requires a signed doctor’s note stating that the student cannot have any milk or milk products at school. If you want juice to be the replacement for milk, the doctor’s note must include a request which states “100% juice” for the replacement. If the school does not have a signed doctor’s note, the student will be offered water as a replacement.
If a doctor has determined that your child has a disability and the disability would prevent the child from eating the regular school meal, the school will make any substitutions prescribed by a doctor at no extra charge. The doctor’s statement, including prescribed diet and/or substitutions, must be submitted to the Food Service Department at your school.
In the case of a staff member or student who has an allergy note from their doctor for the current year an alternative item will be given.
A Food Allergy Action Plan form can be obtained from the Health Coordinator at Schall School. For more information please contact Janet Weijola, Food Service Director, at 989-673-3165, ext 1901.
