Free and Reduced Lunch

July 21, 2025

 

Dear Parent or Guardian:

 

The enclosed materials are provided to you to explain the new 2025-26 guidelines for the distribution of free and reduced-priced breakfast and lunch in the Mount Ayr Community School District. This is in accordance with our agreement and guidelines as approved by the School Food Division of the State Department of Public Instruction. This packet includes an application for free and reduced-priced breakfast/lunch and other fees such as textbook fees.

 

If you, as a parent, feel your family falls within the guidelines set forth, you are encouraged to complete the enclosed free and reduced-price application as well as the textbook fee waiver. The school district also benefits from federal funding based on the district's free/reduced rate.

 

Please complete both the Iowa Eligibility Application and Textbook Fee Waiver and return. Applications may be returned to the District Office located at 1001 East Columbus St. Mount Ayr, Iowa 50854.

 

If you have any questions regarding qualification, please call Amanda Cannon at (641-464-0500) or email [email protected]

 

Sincerely,

Amanda Cannon

Amanda Cannon

District Administrative Assistant
