✨ Enhancing Our Schools Without Increasing the Tax Rate ✨

This November, Chippewa Hills voters will decide on a bond proposal that addresses some of our district’s most pressing needs. With nearly 1,800 students learning in buildings that range from modern spaces to schools built in the 1930s, it’s time to ensure our facilities reflect the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s opportunities.

The bond proposal focuses on three key areas:

✅ Safety & Security – Updated entrances, secure learning spaces, and improved emergency systems.
✅ Facility Upgrades – Repairing and modernizing aging buildings to provide safe, reliable learning spaces.
✅ Community Space – Expanding gym space so students don’t have to practice late into the evening, while also creating facilities the whole community can use.

This is a responsible investment in our children, our schools, and the future of Chippewa Hills—without raising the current tax rate. The proposal maintains the levy at 2.41 mills, one of the lowest rates in the area.

📅 Election Day is November 4.

📢 Update on Free Meals for Students

Last week we shared that all students would receive free breakfast and lunch for the full school year. We’ve since learned that this funding is currently only guaranteed through September 30, 2025.

Until then, every Warrior will enjoy free breakfast and lunch at school. After September 30, the state legislature will determine whether funding for meals will continue.

To prepare for any outcome, we strongly urge families to complete and return the Child Nutrition and Benefits Application (linked on our website here: https://aptg.co/z4Xjx_). This helps determine if your child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals and also provides important support for school funding.

Families are also encouraged to contact their legislators and share how important this program is for students.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep you updated with the most accurate information.

📣 School Meal Funding Update for 2025-26

This past school year, the State of Michigan provided funding for free meals for all students. The School Aid Budget for the upcoming 2025-26 school year has not yet been finalized and it’s unclear if this funding will continue.

This means there is a possibility that school meals may no longer be free for everyone.

To prepare for any outcome, we’re asking ALL Warrior families to complete the Child Nutrition and Education Benefit Application. This quick, confidential form helps determine if your child qualifies for free or reduced-priced meals. It also ensures our school receives important state and federal funding tied to this application.

A green paper copy was included with your registration paperwork or you can download a copy on our website here: https://aptg.co/z4Xjx_. Completed forms can be turned in to your school office with your registration paperwork.

Filling out this one simple form has a big impact for your family and our entire Warrior community.

Thank you for your help, Warriors.
