If you are not on the K-12 Payment center for lunch payments, then please use the link below to create an account. You will need your student school ID number in order to create an account.
PrePay for School Lunch and Breakfast
You can pay online for school lunches by using the K-12 Payment Center. Additionally, you can send in a check for your child to add to their lunch account.
