Cache County School District uses PaySchools Central (opens in a new window) as its online payment system for meal accounts for all K-12 students. PaySchools Central is free for households to pay for student meals using a debit or credit card. Meal funds can still be paid for by bringing cash or check to the main office.
With PaySchools Central, you can securely and quickly pay for your student’s meals, apply for free and reduced meals, set up reminders and alerts, review their purchases, access detailed reports, and manage payments anytime, anywhere, on any device.
A PaySchools Central account is required to make student lunch payments, as the guest checkout option is only for school fees which is not applicable to our district.
