Student meal accounts are debit accounts and should always maintain a positive balance from which purchases are deducted. Accounts may be set up to allow only one meal per day, without a snack or A la carte items being purchased. Dollar amount limits to be spent on A la carte purchases each day can also be set. Please call (913) 239-4062 to learn about account restriction options.  

A 30-day account history is available online and shows payments, lunches and extra food items purchased. If you do not have an account for the online payment system or cannot remember your username or password, please contact your oldest child's school. For extended account histories (beyond 30 days) call the Food and Nutrition Services office at (913) 239-4062 to request a copy. Please include your student's name and school in your request.

Elementary students can access their meal account by:

• Plastic cards - Cards are kept on a rack in the cafeteria and collected as students go to the cashier.
  
  
• Keypads - Students enter their student ID number and the cashier rings in the sale. In order to keep students from using other students' accounts, the cashier will ensure the student's account photo matches.

Middle and high school students can access their meal account by:

• Keypads - Students enter their student ID number and the cashier rings in the sale. In order to keep students from using other students' accounts, the cashier will ensure the student's account photo matches. Food & Nutrition Services may require positive identification if a student is suspected of using another number.

Low balance notifications are e-mailed and texted on a daily basis once a student’s account balance falls below default notification amount of $20 positive. Parents may adjust the notification amount up or down based on their preferences by logging into ParentVue and going to "Lunch Information" page in the navigation bar.

• Elementary - Students with a negative lunch account balance may NOT purchase seconds, doubles or other A la carte items.
  
  
• Middle - Students are reminded of their account balance at the register once their balance falls below $15. Students with a negative balance will NOT be allowed to purchase anything but a regular meal. Students will not be allowed to charge meals on another student's account. 
  
  
• High - Students are reminded of their account balance at the register once their balance falls below $15. Students with a negative balance of $7.00 will NOT be allowed to purchase unless they have cash or an administrator’s permission. Students will not be allowed to charge meals on another student's account.

If the student has an account balance and siblings remain in the district, the account balance will be transferred to the account of a sibling. If there is no sibling in the district, balances of $5 or more will automatically be refunded by check and mailed to the family address. If the account balance is less than $5, the balance will be refunded upon request.

Requests for balances less than $5 can be made by contacting the Food & Nutrition office, visiting the school cafeteria manager or having the student visit with the cafeteria manager. The request for refunds less than $5 must be made within 30 days after the last day the student is in attendance.
