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!
