Managing Your Student's Account
Accounting System
Computerized accounting system for all students and accounts
Each student has an ID card for their individual use that works like a debit card. Each time a student purchases a meal, the price of the meal will be deducted by reading the ID number on your child's debit card. Elementary students' cards remain at school to reduce the risk of lost cards.
A la carte items at Jefferson Junior High (e.g. baked/reduced-fat chips, water, granola bars, fruit juice, etc.) can also be purchased with the debit card, as long as the student does not have a negative balance.
A student's ID/debit card is already activated. The weekly cost of a daily breakfast and lunch is $33.75 for students (five breakfasts at $2.50 and five lunches at $4.25). Any amount may be deposited at any time via Parent Portal.
Depositing Money
Depositing money to your child's account
Payment for all food service items must be made online through PowerSchool's Parent Portal (debit/credit card, eCheck) This will include breakfast, lunch, and milk at all schools. Daily cash payments will no longer be accepted.
Online
Parents can monitor their child's account online in Parent Portal, which will show his/her food purchases and account balance, and allow you to deposit funds. Payments can be made in Parent Portal any day, any time and is the strongly preferred method of payment. All payments will be applied to your child’s account for use the same day as long as it is received by 7:00am for breakfast and 10:30am for lunch.
