New Lunch Money Payment Option Available for Parents
July 3, 2008 - This year, parents will have a new payment option that will, hopefully, make forgetting to pay for their child’s lunches throughout the school year a thing of the past.
Starting July 7, parents will have the option of signing up with a new service called MyLunchMoney. The service is easy to use and allows parents to deposit funds into their child’s lunch account anytime they want from their home computer, phone or fax.
To get started, parents must enroll at www.myLunchMoney.com or they can call 1-800-479-3531. Parents will need their child's ID or NCWISE number to enroll. This number can be found on their child's report card or schedule. Parents can set their accounts to be used for “meals only” or to include snacks and a la carte items.
All information entered in MyLunchMoney is safe and stays at the child’s school. All personal and payment card information is protected by advanced Internet security.
Parents who choose not to enroll in MyLunchMoney will still have the option of paying for their child’s meals on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and may pay with cash or check. When sending money to the school, parents should indicate on the check or envelope that the funds should be used for “meals only” which includes breakfast and lunch, “lunch only” or “open” which includes meals, as well as snacks and a la carte items.
Meal prices this year remain unchanged from 2005-06.
