Per-Order Meals and Manage Student Lunch Account
We are pleased to announce the implementation of a new lunch pre-order system, myMealOrder, through Payschools Central. This system offers families a convenient and safe way to order and pre-pay for their child’s school lunch. It reduces in-person transactions and is completely cashless. Through this platform, parents will have access to their account by web or cell phone 24 hours a day.
Please note that parents will not be able to see lunch prices or account balances on the pre-order website. There will be “zero” pricing on myMealOrder, and charges to your child’s account won’t be reflected until meals are distributed. Account charges, payments, and balances will be available on your PaySchools Central (previously Payforit) Account. Any remaining balance on your Payforit Account will be available in Payschools Central.
