Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are pleased to offer an online payment option for student lunch accounts. This provides a convenient way to add funds at any time, and payments are automatically applied to your student’s lunch balance.
Please note the following details:
Our online payments are processed through Payrix, the payment processor used by Common Goal/TeachEase.
Payrix charges a fee of 2.99% plus $0.30 per transaction. These processing fees will be passed on to families.
Parents can make a single payment and apply it to multiple students, even if they attend different buildings.
Pictures are included with step-by-step instructions.
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Sincerely,
Missy Hinz
Secretary
