Full Pay Students Elementary, Middle and High School Students will pay for meals at the district’s published standard rate each day.  A student will be allowed to charge a maximum of three days to their account after the balance reaches zero.  Once a student has charged those three meals, he/she will not be allowed to charge ala carte items, however he/she will be offered a designated menu alternative.  Sample: cheese sandwich, veggie sticks, fruit and milk. This meal maintains the USDA standards surrounding reimbursable meals and will be charged at full price to the student’s account.

If you have more than one student in the district, ONE deposit (check or cash) can be made for all of them. 

Parents can access their child’s account balance, view purchases, and make deposits with a credit card at https://berriensprings.familyportal.cloud/There will be a small service fee for each transaction.  To set up an account you will need your child=s student ID number, which can be obtained from the school office.  These payment requirements will allow your child to eat breakfast or lunch at school and will speed up our service during our meal periods.
