    School Lunch Account Changes for the 25-26 School Year

    Dear Charles City CSD Parents & Guardians,


    We want to remind you about a change to school lunch accounts this school year:

    • Lunch money needs to be added to each student’s account, not a shared family account.
    • SchoolPay has not been reporting balances correctly. Please check your child’s lunch balance through PowerSchool; under balances, instead of SchoolPay.


    We encourage you to log in soon to make sure your child’s account is up to date. If you have any questions or need help, please reach out to the district office at (641)-257-6500.


    Thanks for helping us keep lunch accounts up to date!

    SchoolPay Update

    We are happy to inform you that you can now log in and add your food service deposits towards your students' lunch accounts and pay out all of your Powerschool fees that are linked to your students through the SchoolPay portal (which can also be found when logged into the PowerSchool Parent/Guardian portal).


    If you have already paid these items, please do not pay again even if it shows you still owe. We have a list of all collections paid in this summer and will be manually making those deposits into our systems over the weekend to show a payment was received.


    Thank you!
