Blessings in a Backpack
Students needing additional food at home can participate in the Grand Ledge Blessings in a Backpack program. For over a decade, this program has provided bags of food for weekend meals at no cost to hundreds of students in the Grand Ledge area. For students attending school in-person, a bag of nourishing, kid-friendly food can be picked up at Student Services at the end of each week during the school year (except during school breaks.) Examples of some of the food items distributed are: macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables, soup, oatmeal, granola bars, fruit cups, and beef ravioli. If you would like to receive a bag of food for weekends, please contact Jennifer VandenBosch at vandenboschj@glcomets.net or stop into Student Services.

Regular attendance is important to a student’s ongoing success in school, and we expect that when school is in session, students will be present and actively engaged in learning. However, because we live in Michigan, and our winter weather is sometimes unpredictable, Grand Ledge Public Schools has established the following guidelines for decisions related to inclement weather. You may refer to these guidelines when you have questions about possible school closings/delays. School Closing Protocol
