Instrucciones para solicitar comidas y EBT de verano - Español

*If you do not apply for free or reduced meals, or you are not eligible and your student does not have a meal from home , your child will be provided with a meal. You will be charged for your student's provided meals.

Lunch payment Options

Please take advantage of the options to pre-pay your student’s meal accounts. Online payments help the lunch lines go faster and give students more time to eat, relax, and enjoy recess.  They also give you the peace of mind of not having to worry about looking for lunch money every day or worry that it might get lost, or used for things other than lunch.  We strongly recommend and encourage Online payments 

Online payments are a simple, safe and secure way to make payments to your students account 24 hours a day. 7 days a week at your convenience.
