ONLINE MEAL PAYMENTS

 MyPaymentsPlus (www.mypaymentsplus.com), online service that offers you the convenience and information you need to manage your student’s account.  This system could eliminate the need to send checks to school or worry about lost or forgotten money, and speeds up serving lines in the cafeteria.

At no cost, MyPaymentsPlus allows any family to:

  • Check your student’s current account balance
  • Monitor the items your student has been purchasing in the school lunchroom
  • Create settings to receive email notifications when the account reaches a low balance

For a small program fee, MealpayPlus allows any family to:

  • Make a prepayment into your student’s account using a check, credit card, or debit card at www.mypaymentsplus.com
  • Create settings to automatically replenish your student’s account when it reaches a low balance.

 All parents may (even if you do not prepay for your student’s meal account) create an account at no cost through www.mypaymentsplus.com or you will find this link on the Marion County Schools website - www.marionschools.org   To create a new account, follow the onscreen directions and register your student using his/her  Student ID number (7 digits).  If your child is a middle or high school student, you will find the Student ID number on the report card.  If your child is in elementary school and you do not know their ID number, please email us at dtaylor@mctns.net  and give us your child’s full name, grade, and the school.  We will email your child’s ID number back to you.  Email will be processed quickly as possible. We ask that you do not call the school office or the lunch room.

 

We are looking forward to serving your student!
