Leyton Schools to provide free lunches to all students regardless of status

Leyton Public Schools is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for school year 2024-2025. If your child(ren) attend Leyton public schools, reimbursable breakfast and lunch meals that provide all required meal components will be available to them at no charge. However, there will still be fees charged for a la carte purchases such as second entrees and second or snack milks. High School second entrees are $1 for breakfast and $1.30 for lunch Elementary/Junior High second entrees are free for breakfast and .75 cents for lunch. Snack and second milks are .45 cents.

All students enrolled at Leyton Public Schools may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge to them. Research provides supporting evidence that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing lunch to all children at no charge, we are hoping to create a Better Learning environment for our students.

The school breakfast and lunches that we serve follow US Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The school nutrition programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your child(ren) to participate in the schools meals programs. Meals will be served to all students at no charge regardless of their eligibility status. Households do not need to complete a meal application to receive reimbursable meals at no charge. However, we strongly encourage you to complete an application if you are not direct certified to determine your eligibility for other programs such as fee waivers and summer EBT programs. If you have any questions about CEP please feel free to contact them directly at 308-377-2301.
