Athletics and Activities Fee Payments
Orono Schools uses MyPaymentsPlus to collect fee payments. Please visit the MyPaymentsPlus webpage for details on setting up an account. Already have an account? Please sign in here. You can register and pay for athletics and activities programming fees through MyPaymentsPlus.
Don't let cost be a barrier! Even though breakfast and lunch meals are funded through the state, we encourage families to apply for Educational Benefits if they think they might qualify. Educational Benefits include sports and activity scholarships, discounted internet service, and so much more. Benefit information is kept confidential and requires annual renewal.
School meals
Breakfast and lunch meals are fully funded for all students by the state of Minnesota. A breakfast includes a minimum of 3 items including ½ c fruit and a lunch must include 3 components including a minimum of ½ c fruit or vegetables. Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria at 7:40 a.m.
Ala carte items will be available at cost, and students must have funds in their account to make these purchases. Meal payments can be made using MyPaymentsPlus or submitting cash/check to the deposit box located within the cafeteria. We recommend that all families set up low-balance reminders and Autopayments to keep track of student balances. Parents will have access to purchase history through MyPaymentsPlus. It is the parent’s responsibility to discuss a spending plan with their students. The concessions stand in the mezzanine during snack break to help decrease the congestion in the cafeteria. Breakfast and ala carte options will be available during this time and charged to student meal accounts (no cash/credit card sales available).
Please visit the Orono Child Nutrition webpage for complete information on meals, ala carte items for purchase, and the importance of completing an application for educational benefits if you feel you may qualify (see videos in English and Spanish).
You may view daily menus on the OHS Nutrislice page.
Please remind your student of their lunch PIN number so they are prepared to use it in the breakfast and lunch lines, even when meals are free. Any questions related to school meals can be directed to jacklyn.deroma@orono.k12.mn.us or lauren.spoke@orono.k12.mn.us. Thank you!
