Apply for Educational Benefits

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Byron Public Schools offers healthy meals each day.  Starting the school year 2023-24, the Primary, Intermediate, Middle School and High Schools will be joining Minnesota's Free School Meal Program. All students in grades K-12 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-12, 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.

Parents and Guardians can complete the Application for Educational Benefits-Free and Reduced Meals online, through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal after July 1, 2026. 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 (2026-27 Application for Benefits) and submit it to 801 Frontage Rd NW, Byron, MN 55920. A new application must be submitted each year. To apply to Infinite Campus, follow these steps.
