District families can put money into their student(s) meal account online via Family Access.

Online meal payments are like any other credit card transaction, so your payment may take up to one business day to be processed. Here are the steps to take to make online payments: 1)Log in to Family Access 2) Click on “Food Service” 3) Click on “Make Online Payment” 4) If this is the first time making a payment, you will need to create an account by filling in the information under “New Customer”. On future visits you can simply log in using your email and chosen password. If you need additional assistance, here is a link to view a demonstration of how to set up your online meal payment account. http://screencast.com/t/YTNiZjZi

We're proud of our school food service program. Our staff does a great job of providing high quality, nutritious meals to our students. The meals are planned according to federal guidelines. We participate in the "OFFER VS SERVE" plan. Students may select a minimum of 3 out of 5 items at lunch. This option provides our students with the opportunity to choose the food for their meal and helps to reduce waste.

Free and reduced priced meals are available for families who qualify. Families who may qualify are encouraged to complete a confidential application. The information on the application is used for determining meal benefits. Applications are available in each school office or from the Food Service Office located in the district office. Phone number is 763-972-3365 Ext. 2136.

Meal payments may be made in each school and in the district office. We have "family" accounts so you only need to write one check for all students. Payments must be made by 10:00 a.m. each day to be recorded by lunchtime. A confidential PIN number accesses the student's account. The meal account is debited each time a purchase is made. You may not make a purchase if your account is more than $5.00 negative.
