Nutrition & Food Services

Welcome to the Bloomfield Hills Schools Food Services Program Site!

Our web site offers Bloomfield Hills parents and students an in-depth look at the Food Service Department. We will offer you nutritional tips, give you a detailed look at the menus that we provide for your children and introduce you to our catering services for parties or gatherings. We will also give you step-by-step instructions to our pre-payment plan and show you how you can add to your student's account from home.

NEW Charge Policy

Starting Tuesday, October 4, the district will institute a new charge policy for all schools. Communications were sent out in the middle of September with details.

• Auto messages based on the parents selected message choice (call/email/text) are placed weekly (Sunday) to households regarding negative/low balances.
• Communication will be made on accounts with a -$10.00 account balance or higher. The communication will state a deadline that the account needs to be brought up to date or the child will not be able to use their debit card. Forms of communication may include letters, emails, text messages, and/or voice messages.
• When students enter into a negative balance (anything below $0), they will not be able to use their debit cards for meals or a la carte items and will be served an alternate meal, appropriate to dietary restrictions previously noted on the child's account (typically cereal, fruit and milk is provided at a charge of $1.50 to the student's account).
• No a la carte charges can be made on any negative balance accounts.
• To bring the account up to date, families can make payments online within ParentConnect, send a check to school with the student's full name in the memo area (checks made payable to Bloomfield Hills Schools), or place cash in an envelope with the student's full name on the outside of the envelope and send it with the child to school. Cash is accepted at the registers in the middle schools and high school only
