Free, reduced-price meals
Have you completed a free and reduced-price meal application? You'll find a link to complete this process electronically here through PaySchools Central. It's quick, risk-free and confidential. All families are encouraged to complete the form.
PaySchools Central links right from the district's website, which makes managing your child's meal account easy-peasy! You can check school meal account balances and add funds instantly from the PaySchools Central page.
From the district website, you can also keep up with a our monthly school breakfast and lunch menus. Stay tuned for more on what's new in foodservice this year in coming issues of Pioneer News!
Back-to-school forms
The year is officially underway and your child's back-to-school form must be completed to ensure that we have their essential home and emergency contact information current in our system. You can make quick work of this required process through the parent portal of PowerSchool.
If throughout the year your child's address, phone number or emergency contact information changes, please notify your school's main office as soon as possible so staff members can make the necessary updates.
Text Message Sign Up
One way to ensure you never miss an important announcement from the Elyria City School District is to sign up for instant messaging by text.
The service is free and opting in is easy.
Parents or guardians simply need to send a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our district's short code number at 67587.
Just as simple, you can opt out at any time by replying to one of our messages with “Stop.”
The text feature and the robocall system are tied directly to a student's contact information so it's crucial to keep this information up-to-date to ensure you continue receiving calls and/or texts from Elyria Schools.
