Covert Public Schools Food Service Department recognizes that good nutrition and education go hand in hand. Through the caring and respectful preparation and service of quality nutritious meals, we will foster sound food choices and eating habits, which will enable children to perform at their best now and in the future.

Our meal program operates under the National School Lunch Program administered by USDA, Food and Nutrition Service and the Michigan Department of Education. All of our meals meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and meet the nutrient standards set forth by the Heathy, Hunger-free Kids Act of 2010.

Covert Elementary School proudly participates in the Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program provided by the Michigan Dept. of Education. Students are provided fresh fruit or vegetable daily.
