Meal Payment Options

Students have the opportunity to pre-pay for the meals they purchase
from our cafeterias. Parents can send a check, complete with their child's
NCWISE Student Identification Number, payable to their school cafeteria
to purchase meals on a weekly, monthly, semester or yearly basis. Purchasing
meals on a monthly basis are recommended. The money received will be placed
in your child's account and as meals and other food items are purchased, the cost
will be appropriately deducted.

In addition to prepay meal accounts, Chartwells and Winston Salem/Forsyth
County Child Nutrition Department has enrolled in an internet-based service
called Cafe Prepay. Cafe Prepay is a website where you can pay for cafeteria
meals and a la carte items using your Visa, MasterCard or Discover Credit Card
as well as an option to use Direct Withdrawal. Direct Withdrawal uses your banking
information to debit your checking or savings account and add funds to your
child's school account.

In order to cover the cost of processing your credit card payments, as well as the
cost of maintaining the Cafe Prepay website, Comalex, Inc adds a 6% service fee
to each credit card transaction. Direct Withdrawal is offered to parents for $1.00 per
transaction. Whether you are paying $25.00 or $500.00, the handling fee will never
change.

To use this service, you must first enroll on the Cafe Prepay website at
www.cafeprepay.com. You will choose a login name, which you will use each
time you make a payment on the website. You must also enter a valid e-mail
address where you can receive payment confirmations from Comalex, Inc.
Once you have enrolled on the Cafe Prepay and receive your password
from Comalex, Inc. you will then be able to log in and enter your personal
information. All personal information is stored in payments and send payment
confirmation e-mails.

When a credit card transaction is made, funds will be made available
within 24 hours in your child's account. Direct Withdrawal transactions,
however, may take 2-3 days from the date the payment is processed until
funds are available in your child's account.
