Lunch Program
Welcome to NICE Community School District Food Service Department.
The kitchen staff at Westwood High School and Aspen Ridge School work hard to provide meals that the students will enjoy and that meet the nutrition guidelines of the USDA as well as the Department of Education.
For the 2024-2025 school year, we are participating in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) and the Michigan School Meals Program. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Education Benefits Form is still important! We still need you to fill out and sign the Education Benefits Form and return to the school as soon as possible. This information is used to determine eligibility and is critical in determining the amount of money that our district receives from a variety of State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, At-Risk (31a), Title II A, E-Rate, etc.
Forms are available in the Principal’s office or can be printed from the district website and may be completed and turned in at any time during the school year.
More than just school lunches! Breakfast is also available at both buildings for all students. The NICE breakfast program is available to all students every weekday morning. Times served are Aspen Ridge School 7:45 am – 8:15 am and Westwood High School 7:30 am – 8:00 am.
