Food Service Account Information
Each family has a food service account. Deposits are made to that account, and the cost of all family members’ meal purchases is subtracted from it.
Your Campus Parent Portal username will give you access to view payments and purchases, as well as enter payments online. If you need a username and password, please contact your student's school.
Making Payments
Cash is not accepted in the lunch line. Payments may be made by:
1) Credit card using Campus Parent Portal

2) Check or cash at your child’s school.
Online Payments
Discover, Visa or MasterCard (debit, credit or check card) payments are processed by Infinite Campus, and funds are reflected immediately in the student's food service account.
