Paying for School Meals

Student meals can be paid for with a credit card online at PayPams.

PayPams require the Student’s ID number or meal account pin number (provided by the school) to create an account. The Student ID number can be found on report cards or by accessing The Source.

PayPams charges users $2.40 (per student) each time money is added to the online account.

If you are unable to use PayPams, checks and cash are accepted by Ms. Ulonda, our Lunchroom Manager, either as a pre-paid deposit to a student’s account or for purchasing individual meals or milk. Checks should be made payable to Culinary Services.

Breakfast and lunch will be served at no or a reduced cost to those students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. There are many benefits for students approved for free and reduced priced school meals, including reduced fees for field trips.

How parents can help us out:
