All schools in ISD 279 – Osseo Area Schools participate in the National School Lunch Program where nutritious breakfast and lunch meals are served every school day. All meals served meet nutritional standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If a child has been determined by a physician to have a disability and the disability prevents the child from eating the regular meal, we will make modifications or substitutions prescribed by the physician at no additional charge. Please have your physician complete the forms available on the District 279 website at www.district279.org.

On March 17, 2023, Governor Walz signed the MN Free School Meals bill into law. The MN Free School Meals
Program is a permanent program that provides state reimbursement to schools that participate in the National
School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program so that students can have one breakfast and one lunch
at no cost at school. The Free School Meals Program began on July 1, 2023.

Students attending a middle school or high school can purchase ala carte items daily. To be able to purchase these items, students must have a positive account fund balance.
