Attention Parents!!
 Things are changing in our school cafeteria! We have a new School Food automated system.  If you currently pay for their child’s meals, please note that the procedure for prepayment has changed.  Please click here to view the complete information that was mailed home in the beginning of May.
 
A Reduced Meal is .25 cents, which equals $1.25 per week.
A Full Paid Meal is $1.50, which equals $7.50 per week. 
 
Payments can be made student account by using the Online Payment System:  www.mylunchMoney.com   an easy, fast and simple meal payment system.  Enrolling and funding is completed online.  Once a parent establishes an account, they can check balances, check purchases made by your child, quickly authorize additional payments or establish recurring payments conveniently from a home or office computer.  All personal and payment card information is protected by the most advanced internet security. 
 
Parents can also call 800-479-3531 and make credit card payments to student accounts over the phone if they do not have access to a computer with internet capabilities.
 
Please note: Students will not be served food unless they have money in their accounts. This does not apply to students who are eligible for FREE LUNCH.  Any balances that have not been paid off by the end of the year will follow the student to the next grade.
