We are excited to announce that starting this coming Wednesday October 4th, the District is pleased to offer a new POS debit system and online payment system called PaySchools Central.  PaySchools Central provides all parents in the district with an easy way to make lunch account payments in a safe and secure format while also giving them the flexibility and convenience to monitor their student’s account balances and allowing them to replenish it when their account gets low. This new service benefits schools, parents and students. Cashiers will spend less time taking deposits/cash at the serving line which gives students more time to eat, parents do not have to worry about the money not reaching the cafeteria and students never have to worry about not having money to pay for lunch.
