• PayPams Information

    Parents are encouraged to place money on their student's account in advance. Advance payment allows the cafeteria to provide the most efficient service to all customers.

    Money may be placed in your student's account for the convenience of purchasing extra items for students.

    You may send cash, personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks, or make payments online.

    Include the following information with your payment:

    • Student's full name
    • Personal identification number (PIN)
    • Teacher's name

    If paying for more than one student, please list all student names, PINs and teacher names.

    Purchase Adjustments / 30 Day Limit

    School Nutition Services (SNS) offers an online service to give parents access to the activity on their child's lunch account. The online service can be accessed daily to check balances and purchases made by students. Parents have the option to make payments through this service, but this is an option and is not required in order to view activity on the account. The parent/guardian has 30 days from the date a purchase is posted to dispute questionable charges to the account.

    Lunch activity may be obtained by creating an online account at www.paypams.com.
