Funding Lunch Accounts
Keeping your students lunch fund accounts out of the negative can be a real challenge for schools. We all want our students to get healthy, nutritious and satisfying meals every day. Unfortunately student’s lunch funds can be the last thing that a parent will think of as they they are getting their family ready for the day. There are several ways to encourage your parents and guardians to load their student’s lunch fund accounts and keep them informed about what their students are purchasing in the school nutrition department.
PayForIt.net
PayForIt.net (PFI) is a secure web-based system which simplifies payment, collection and balancing of funds for school districts. PayForIt will make funding student lunch accounts easier. Parents and guardians can view their lunch balances with a mobile app or online. Parents can also view the nutrition services purchases in most cases. They can create an auto-replenishment account so that they will never have to worry that there is enough in each lunch fund account. If they do not want an active auto-replenishment, parents can opt in for balance reminder emails and monthly statements to keep themselves informed and up to date.
We are happy with the PayForIt Online Payment Processing System and believe it will satisfy our needs in the foreseeable future, We are confident PaySchools will support is as we continue to promote online payments and add additional features to our suite of options for our customers. – Roxy, Director of Treasury Services
