Tired of looking for cash every day for your student's lunch?  You may deposit funds to students' school meals accounts by logging in to the Parent Portal, click on Cafeteria, and make deposit using credit or debit card.

Or you have the option to send in a check made out to Woodhaven-Brownstown Schools for the entire week or month.  The money will be held in a secure account only your child can use when they make a cafeteria purchase.  If you have more than one child, you can still pay with one check; just make sure you indicate every child's name on the front of the check and include the amount to be given to each child.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Joseph Uri, Director of Dining Services, at 734-789-2088. 

Negative Balances

Account balances follow students as they travel through the district from school to school, whether they are positive or negative. Notices are sent out in June to those with negative balances. Balances can be checked online using “Parent Connect.” If you do not currently have access, contact the secretary of your child’s school to request a user name and password.

All negative balances must be paid before your child can purchase any a la carte food items.

Please Note:  Parents are encouraged to complete and submit a paper copy of the meal application to the main office or complete an online application (both options available below) . All students should be included on the same application.

• 2025-26 Education Benefits Form

You may print off the pages of this application online. Page 2 should be completed and turned in to your school office.

Note: Applications are  available in additional languages upon request.

Free and reduced-price meal applications expire June 30 every school year. A new application must be filled out EVERY school year. The only exception is for families that are directly certified by the state, in which case no application is needed (unless notified otherwise).

If you have more than one student attending WBSD, fill out ONE application only, and include all students and household members.

If the following describes your situation, a new application is required:

1. Your family is new to the school district and had benefits last year – benefits DO NOT carry over from district to district.

2. Your children received free or reduced-price meals last year because of low income.

3. You have recently begun receiving state assistance and now have a case number.

Foster Care Children

Foster care children living with you can now be included with other children in the household. However, any income that the foster child receives MUST be included and added to the overall household income. If they do not receive any money, put $0 in that space for income. Although the foster child will automatically receive free meals, the non-foster children will still be evaluated according to the number of family members on the application and the total income listed. To help shorten the processing time of new applications, remember to fill out the application completely by including the following:

The FIA case # for each child (if applicable)

• How much and how often each household member receives money

• Signature of the adult completing the application

• The signer’s SS # (SS # not required if an FIA case number is listed or if the application is for a foster child with no other children listed in the household). 

New students must pay full price for all food while their application is being processed and until notified of their status. Returning students whose benefits were based on income will keep the prior year’s status for 30 calendar days. If a new application is not turned in during those first 30 days, their benefits will expire and they will become “full pay.” Students will be responsible to pay full price for their food until a new application is turned in, processed and their status is determined.
