FOOD SERVICE

Baraga Area Schools is excited to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students starting this school year thanks to the Michigan School Meals program! Even though meals will be provided for free, it is important for families to continue sharing household income information in order for our schools to receive full access to federal and state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. Keep an eye out for more information and steps you can take during school registration.
