Credits/Refunds: At the end of the school year, any remaining balance on a student account will roll over to the following year. Requests for transfer of funds, credits, or refunds based on a student’s graduation or withdrawal should be directed to the District Business office, 630-795-7122.

Students

As you approach the cafeteria registers, you will need to scan your identification card or enter your ID number into a keypad (all students will need to do this regardless of whether they are pre-paying for meals, or not). Your picture and personal account information is immediately available to the teller. The teller is able to debit purchases from your pre-established student account. Students that have qualified for free or reduced lunches will have accounts that reflect this status. This will eliminate the need for you to carry separate lunch cards.

You will also be able to give cash or checks to the teller to put money on your account. Also, instead of receiving change back from a larger bill ($20, for example), you may find it convenient to apply your change to your account. The next time that you wish to purchase food, money will be available to you on your account.

Parents

To put money on account for your students to use in the cafeteria, you can send cash or a check with them to give to the teller. Another way is to make payments for your child’s lunch by visiting www.mealpayplus.com or by calling a toll-free 866-498-4005, from anywhere, anytime. You will first have to register as a user with MealPay Plus. In order to register, you will need to know the student ID number of each student for which you wish to make a payment. After registering you will be able to:

• View your child’s balance at any time, as well as check payment history.
• Email confirmations of payments and low balance reminders can be automatically sent to you.
• Pay towards multiple student accounts with one payment.
• Payments can be made quickly and easily using a credit card, debit card, or check. Payments made on credit cards in values less than $50 will incur a $2.00 fee. When payments are made in excess of $50, the fee will be absorbed by the school district.
• Wallet and Auto-Replenish features allow parents to set a low balance amount that will automatically replenish their child’s account when it reaches a specified balance.
• View 30-day purchase history (of what your student is buying for lunch).

To register online, visit www.mealpayplus.com, and click on the ‘Register’ tab on the left side of the screen. To register, you will need to have the school Student ID number assigned to your child. To make a payment to your student’s account by phone, call 866-498-4005. The MealpayPlus system makes security a priority, and basically utilizes the same security methods used by online banking services today.

If you have payment processing questions or concerns, you can call 800-859-6508 between the hours of 8:00 - 5:00. Parents can also send emails to Support@Mealpay.com.
