Meal Payment Options

Students have the opportunity to pre-pay for the meals they purchase from our cafeterias.

MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOLS:
Pre-paid meals can be purchased at any time during lunch periods. Simply give the cash or check to the cashier when going through the lunch line and the cashier will apply it to your child's account. If any money is owed, the computer will deduct that amount first and apply any leftover amount.


ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS:
The Elementary breakfast/lunch program is a pre-paid system. When purchasing meals, money should be brought in on the specified collection day (typically Thursdays) and it should be for the following week. However, you can purchase meals for certain days, for a week or weeks, for months or even the school year. Please see the Monthly prices on the Meal Prices page. Every school is now using a computerized meal system that will track each students account. If money is owed, notices will be sent home every two weeks until your child's account is brought up to date. PLEASE NOTE: no more change will be given back for payments. all monies recieved will be credited to your child's account.


Using Cash and Checks:
When paying by check, parents can send in a check made out to Lynn Public Schools Food Service for the amount of meals desired. Checks or cash should be sent in an enclosed enevelope or bag with your child's name and homeroom clearly marked on the outside. If payments are recieved with no names, it will be impossible to credit your child's account,
If checks are returned to Food Service from the bank with insufficient funds or other reasons, there will be a $25.00 fee and require a bank money order for the original check amount plus $25.00 fee. Notices will be sent out when checks are returned and your child's account will be adjusted to reflect the non-payment.
