The cafeteria operates on a completely cashless system. A lunch payment system has been implemented to help make lunch payments more convenient and mobile for students and parents.
PaySchools Central is an online payment platform that allows parents to deposit money into their
student's lunch account, realize when the balance is getting low, and conveniently manage from
anywhere. The PaySchools Central portal is easy to set up and use, both online and through their
mobile app.
Once the account is set up, students can then use their ID to make purchases at the cafeteria. New
students who may not yet have their ID card, can get their ID number from their RenWeb account
and punch in the number when making a purchase. The cafeteria will also be given a list of ID
numbers for new students, should they need assistance.
The PaySchool Central app will be available to set up and load funding by Monday, August 14.
Students can then start using the payment system on Tuesday, August 15. Each Friday, the next
week’s menu will be posted in the FLA Newsletter.
