Bedford Public Schools Celebrates National School Lunch Week with Special Events and Healthy Menus

Bedford Public Schools Joins National Celebration Highlighting the Importance of School Lunch in Fueling Students for Success

For today’s students, the cafeteria serves as a place to connect with friends and fuel up for a day of learning and extracurricular activities, and school lunch provides a healthy, delicious, and affordable way to nourish kids and build relationships. During National School Lunch Week from October 14-18, students at our Elementary Schools celebrate school lunch with a variety of stickers and bookmarks. Monroe Road Elementary will have a taste test during lunch on October 18, 2024 during lunch. We will be taste testing Cucumber Apple side salad.

This year’s theme is “School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure,” highlighting the importance of a healthy school lunch to a student’s success. In partnership with foodservice partner Chartwells K12.

NEW SIGNAGE AROUND THE DISTRICT

You may notice some new signs being installed around our district. These new signs are meant to reinforce to district visitors that our grounds and facilities are closed to the general public when school is in session. This is not a new policy (9150 - SCHOOL VISITORS), however, we are stepping up our enforcement of these rules to help ensure the safety of students and staff. Anyone that has school related business during published school hours, is welcome to enter through each building's main entrance and check in as a visitor.

This same School Visitor Policy also addresses animals on our school grounds: “Except as set forth in District policy, canines brought on the premises by law enforcement personnel for law enforcement purposes, or in the case of "service animals" required for use by a person with a disability, no other animals may be on school premises at any time.”

NOTICE OF SCHEDULED PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS

ABOUT BEDFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Bedford Public School District is proud to offer a high quality education to the residents of Bedford Township, Michigan!

OUR MISSION: All learners will be prepared for lifelong success through:

High quality instruction
Diverse experiences
A supportive environment
Strong community engagement.

OUR VISION: Educating for Life!

Bedford Public Schools continues a tradition of educational excellence that starts with early childhood education in our award winning Great Start Readiness Preschool (GSRP) program. Our three elementary schools: Douglas Road Elementary, Jackman Road Elementary, and Monroe Road Elementary, provide an excellent foundation for students to grow from Young Fives to Grade 5. Bedford Junior High School offers a softer transition from the elementary atmosphere with a school-within-a-school for 6th graders before moving to more independent learning and students switching classes for grades 7 and 8 in preparation for high school. The many academic options available at Bedford High School, along with our Bedford Virtual Academy, means every student can thrive with classes based on their interests or potential choice of college studies or career path. Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses teaches real world, hands-on skills in 13 different career pathways. A wide variety of courses, a strong visual and performing arts program, competitive athletics, and extracurricular opportunities all contribute to a well-rounded education for our graduates. Many graduates leave with college credits and/or industry recognized certifications. Lifelong learning continues beyond high school and graduation with our Adult Education programs and other enrichment options in our outstanding Community Education program.

Bedford Public Schools has an enrollment of over 4,000 students that routinely exceed state averages in assessments such as the M-STEP, MME and SAT thanks to the efforts of our dedicated staff, the hard work of our students, and the support of parents and our community. We are proud to be the Kicking Mules!
