Nutrition Services
Byron Center Public School Nutrition Services is passionate about serving your child's nutritional needs during school. BCPS participates in the National School Lunch Program, you can be assured a delicious, balanced, healthy breakfast and lunch are available for your child every school day. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available daily, along with whole grain options, 100% juice, and 1% or fat free milk.
Research shows that children who eat a nutritious breakfast and lunch every day give themselves a real advantage to learning in the classroom. They are less distracted, their mood and behavior is better, and they tend to be more engaged during the lessons. BCPS Nutrition Services is here to support your child's learning.

MEAL MAGIC - FAMILY PORTAL
HOW TO CREATE A FAMILY PORTAL ACCOUNT
HOW TO MAKE A DEPOSIT TO FAMILY PORTAL ACCOUNT
BCPS Nutrition Services uses the Family Portal online system that allows parents/guardians the option to make deposits, view student balances and food purchasing history, move funds within their family members, and choose student account restrictions 24/7. Every student has an account number assigned upon enrollment, even if they do not purchase school meals. This account number is what you will need to set up their online Family Portal Account, and will be sent to you in an instructional letter at the beginning of the school year.
