Paying for Meals

All cafeterias within HHSC utilize a pre-pay computerized meal payment system. All students have a district account with the Child Nutrition Services and all district employees are eligible to have an account. Money can be deposited into this account for the purchase of breakfast, lunch, milk and a la carte foods. Cash/check collection during a lunch or breakfast period slows the serving line and reduces the total time students have to eat. Therefore, all cash/check payments must be made prior to breakfast or lunch.

At HHES, payments are collected each morning in the classroom and taken to the front office. Lunch money is picked up at 9:30 am. At HHMS, payments are collected in the front office and picked up at 9:30am. At HHHS, payments should be deposited into the prepayment kiosk located at the Main Office Commons Area.

There are three (3) options available for prepayment:

• Major credit/debit card online at www.EZSchoolPay.com (available for a $2.00 fee)
• Check: Please place in a sealed envelope with the child's name (first and last) and amount clearly written.
  • Make checks payable to “(School Name) Cafeteria”.
  • Check must have the student's name (first and last) clearly written under “MEMO” or “FOR”.
  • If depositing into more than one student’s account, the check must specify how much money is to be deposited into each child’s account.
  • Returned checks: If a check is returned for any reason (NSF, Uncollected Funds, Closed Account, etc.), HHCNS will assess a $15.00 fee per check. After two returned checks are received per family per school year, checks will no longer be accepted from that family. Parents/guardians will have 5 days to make payment for the returned check and returned check fee. If payment is not received after 5 days, the amount of the check and the $15.00 returned check fee will be debited from the student’s account.
• Cash: Please place in a sealed envelope with the child's name (first and last) and amount clearly written.

Hamilton Heights School Corporation is no longer responsible for monitoring student’s accounts. Since parents may use the EzSchoolPay system solely for monitoring account balances and what is purchased, it will be the parent’s responsibility to monitor their student’s account balance.
