The e~Funds For Schools electronic payment service is provided to the District by a third-party service provider. The service provider has a nominal fee for their service.
-
For payments made by checking account through ACH, the fee is $1.00. There is no limit to the amount of money that you may place on account in a single transaction. For example, if you specify that $100.00 is to be deposited in your child's lunch account, a total of $101.00 ($100.00 deposit + $1.00 fee) will be deducted from your checking account. The system also carries a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) charge of $15.00. When you set up your account, please review your options carefully.
-
For payments made by credit card, the fee is $2.49 flat fee. There is a $250 limit to the amount of money that you may place on account in a single transaction. For example, if you specify that $160.00 is to be deposited in your child's lunch account, a total of $162.49 ($160.00 deposit + $2.49 fee) will be charged to your credit card. When you set up your account, please review your options carefully.
No portion of the fees benefit the District. The fees are charged in addition to the amount you specify to be posted to your child's lunch account. You are in full control of your account and can make a payment at any time that is convenient for you. No payments will be allowed without your knowledge and authorization through this secure payment system. By providing your home and/or work e-mail address, an e-mail notification informing you of the student’s name, purpose of the payment, and the amount of the item will be sent to you each time that a payment is to be processed. The e~Funds For Schools site is secure and uses industry standard data encryption.

Before clicking below to set up your child's account at e~Funds for Schools, please note: when you are asked to register your child, the system will prompt for your child's Student ID or your Family ID. Your child's ID is their 6-digit number; your Family ID is your 10-digit home (primary) phone number entered without any punctuation. If your Family ID will not work, it might be that your phone number is unlisted or not entered or incorrect in Skyward (our student information system). In that event, ask your child for their Student ID (the same number they use to sign into the school's computer network, to checkout library books, and to purchase lunch). Your child's Student ID can also be located by signing into Skyward.
Please note that your first transaction after setting up your account could take up to 3 business days to process while your account information is verified. Subsequent transactions should be available within 1 day.
