Bus stop information will be available online for the 2023–2024 school year starting August 28. You can access your child’s bus stop information by visiting www.fraser.k12.mi.us. Click on the "Bus Stops" link and enter your address to retrieve your child’s bus stop information.

It is very important to check your child’s bus stop, as routes have been modified for the 2023–2024 school year.

Students will be assigned a route number in lieu of a bus number. The route number is located on the left side of the entry door. To ensure transportation, all students must be at their bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival time.

Please review with your child the bus rules found on the Transportation Department’s website.

If your child has specific medical needs, please reach out to the main office prior to the start of school. In order to administer medication, consent forms must be completed. Consent forms for prescription medications must include dosage and frequency information signed by a physician. Medication, including inhalers, must be stored in the main office and not in backpacks or pockets. In addition, if your child has a medical plan, it will need to be updated for the 22-23 school year.

Hello Parents,

Please see the following communication from FPS.

We had some parent questions about order forms, for this year. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE ORDER FORMS, however the district would like you to complete the "Educational Benefits Form" below. Students will select their choices in the lunch line.

Please call the office if you have questions.

Mr. Argiri

Dear Fraser Families,

As you may have heard, all students in Fraser Public Schools are eligible to receive free meals this school year. Every student enrolled in our district can receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household each day.

Meals Information

Breakfast and lunch menus for the first week of school and the month of September are now available on our website. (Elementary menu. RMS/FHS Menu.) Additional a la carte items will still be available for purchase at both Richards Middle School and Fraser High School. Elementary Schools will have a limited variety of a la carte items to purchase using CASH ONLY. All students can choose to purchase an additional breakfast or lunch at the full paid student price.

Breakfast is served in our elementary classrooms at the beginning of each school day. At RMS and FHS, students can eat breakfast in the cafeteria before school.

Lunch is served in the cafeterias at each school. Specific times will be provided by your school principal.

Education Benefits Form

Even though meals are free for everyone, it is still important for your household to complete an Education Benefits Form, which can be found online on the Family Portal website. This form is critical in determining the amount of money that our district receives from a variety of state and federal supplemental programs. It could also help your family qualify for additional benefits.

We are asking that you please complete and submit the Education Benefits Form as soon as possible. All information on the report submitted is confidential, and it should take only a few minutes to complete.

Thank you,

We are excited to announce that we have extended our partnership with Gleaners through the summer. They will continue to be set up in the FHS parking lot on the following dates:

August 17

August 31

September 14

September 28
