• 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
                              or
         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.
    If an email address is entered, a confirmation email will be sent when payments are added to the food service account.

    Cash or Check Payments
    Payments made with cash and check can be processed at your child’s school. 
     
    Checks should be made payable to McLean County Unit 5 Food Service. Please do not combine any other payments with your food service deposit. The amount you send will be deposited into your food service account. Any checks returned by the bank will be subtracted from your account and collected at the District office.
