Spotlights

Non-Custodial Parents We are more than happy to cooperate in sending materials home to noncustodial parents, upon request. PLEASE REMEMBER TO INFORM THE SCHOOL AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR OF YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS AND NEED TO RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION. A call to our building, (586) 598-7660, at the beginning of the new school with the appropriate information is generally all that is required to set the process in motion.

Christmas for Anchor Bay

Anchor Bay is collecting for the Christmas for Anchor Bay event during the month of November! 

There is also an Amazon wish list that goes directly to Pay It Forward for this event.

Fall Community Newsletter

The Fall Community Newsletter will be hitting mailboxes in September. It includes information about Anchor Bay's amazing state assessment scores, bond updates, new administrators, and more!

Free Student Meals

Thanks to the Michigan Healthy School Meals Program, Anchor Bay is excited to offer 1 FREE breakfast and 1 FREE lunch each school day to all students during the 2024 2025 School Year! All smart snacks and extra entrees will remain at cost.

Although meals are free this school year, it is important for families to still fill out the Meal Application! This information is still used for important state funding that helps support educational programs within our schools and also helps qualify students for Summer EBT benefits. To apply for free/reduced meals for the 2024 2025 school year, please visit our online site at anchorbay.familyportal.cloud and click on the ‘benefits’tab . Please follow the instructions as some Anchor Bay Schools require a different application form this year.
