MyPaymentsPlus (www.mypaymentsplus.com) is an online service that provides you the convenience and information you need to manage your student’s account. This system allows you to browse & make payments toward meals, speeds up serving lines in the cafeteria, and ensures that your child will receive a nutritious meal.

MyPaymentsPlus also allows you to:

• Create a free, secured account to manage all of your student's accounts.
• Check your student’s current account balance from anywhere, at any time.
• Monitor the items your student has been purchasing in the cafeteria.
• Create settings to receive email notifications when the account reaches a low balance.
• Make a prepayment into your student’s account using a check, credit card, or debit card online at www.mypaymentsplus.com or via phone. Funds deposited through MealpayPlus are usually available for student use within a matter of minutes. 
• Create settings to automatically replenish your student’s account when it has a low balance.

If you chose to pay with a check or cash, please write your student’s account number on your check, or write it on a slip of paper to send with your cash. You may send the money to any school, and it will be applied to the account you specify.

CHARGES TO INDIVIDUAL STUDENT ACCOUNTS-
After your student goes through the food service line and either fills a tray or takes a carton of milk to have with a sack lunch, the student gives his/her name to the cashier and punches his/her 4-digit meal code number into the keypad at the checkout station. The student’s name and picture will flash onto a computer screen.  After the cashier verifies that the correct student is being served, the system deducts the correct charge from the student’s account. (Cashiers assist students with their meal code numbers until the students learn them. The system preserves confidentiality of those eligible for free and reduced priced meals.) Cash or four digit lunch number may also be used for a la carte purchases at the middle and high schools. Parents are expected to maintain their meal accounts in a positive status.
