How do I find out how much money is left in my student's account?

Call the nutrition service site manager at your child's school to check on the current balance. Please call before 10 a.m. or after 1 p.m. If you are connected to the site's voicemail, leave a message with your name and phone number, and the site manager will return your call.

How can I add money to my student's account?

Nutrition Services uses an Internet food service payment option, through Campus Parent Portal. Please note, payments can only be taken online and not through the Campus Parent mobile app.

How will I receive low balance notifications?

On Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., families whose student’s meal account balance is negative $5 and below will receive an email and text message including the balance and a reminder to add funds for each student. These messages will be sent every Wednesday for each student whose account is negative $5 and below.

How are remaining balances and refunds handled?

Balances stay in the student's accounts over the summer break, whether the balance is negative or positive. If the student moves to a new building, the balance will transfer.
