Accounts & Pre-Pay

Payments on Student Meal Accounts
You may prepay in person by cash or check at your student's school or pay online via credit card. You will find an "Online Payment" button located in the center about 2/3 the way down the home page. This will open a box that has a link for cafeteria payments. Parents will need their child's student identification number. This is the six digit student identification number, not a social security number. This may be found on your child's campus schedule and/or enrollment information.
Parents will need a valid MasterCard, Visa, or Discover card for online payment. Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the money to appear in the student's account at the campus level.

Any balance remaining on students account will be available for use the following year and balances will transfer with the student if they change schools. If a student moves out of the district or at the end of the year any money remaining on a students account can be refunded. Parents should complete a refund form available from the cafeteria manager. This request will be processed and a check for the remaining balance will be mailed to the requestor. This may take up to 10 business days.

Student Meal Charging Policy
In the event that a student looses their money or runs out of money on their account we will allow a student to charge. However, elementary students will only be extended $14.00 and secondary students $5.50 of credit. Charges will be taken out of any future payments and unpaid charges will carry over each year. Student Nutrition is extending this credit with the full intent that all charges will be paid. Once a student reaches the limit, no more charging will be allowed and students without money will be given a complimentary vegetable plate consisting of three fruit/vegetable servings and milk. It is our goal for no child to go without a meal; however, we cannot feed children indefinitely without money.

Remaining Balances
Any balance remaining on students account will be available for use the following year and balances will transfer with the student if they change schools. If a student moves out of the district or at the end of the year any money remaining on a students account can be refunded. Parents should complete a refund form available from the cafeteria manager. This request will be processed and a check for the remaining balance will be mailed to the requestor. This may take up to 10 business days

Transaction Listing:
At any time if a parent wishes to have a detailed report of the transactions from their students account this can be obtained from the cafeteria manager.

Restricting an Account:
If a parent wishes to restrict the purchase of a la carte items, they can request that the debit account be used for only meals, and this should be communicated to the Student Nutrition Office by completing the Limit Account Request under the Forms section.
