Apply for Free or Reduced Lunch
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Byron Public Schools offers healthy meals each day. Starting the school year 2023-24, the Primary, Intermediate, and Middle Schools will be joining Minnesota's Free School Meal Program. All students in grades K-8 can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit for students grades K-8, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your child(ren) may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school. Our district receives additional funding from the state based on the number of families who qualify.
Byron High School does not participate in the National School Lunch Program. Therefore, all meals for grades 9-12 will be full pay unless your family has qualified for free/reduced meals.
Breakfast at High School is Ala Carte items. 9-12 Lunch options; Basket Meal-$4.10; Premium Meal-$4.85; Chef Meal-$5.85. High School students who qualify for Educational Benefits (free and reduced) receive baskets, pizza and grab-n-go for free, if they want a chef meal it will cost them $1.10.
Parents and Guardians can complete the Application for Educational Benefits-Free and Reduced Meals online, through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal after July 1, 2024. You will be notified instantly through your Infinite Campus Inbox if you qualify. If you prefer paper, you can contact Anne Ludvigsen at 507-775-2383 or print the application (2024-25 Application for Benefits) and submit it to 801 Frontage Rd NW, Byron, MN 55920.
