Aramark Instructions

 

We are excited to be able to offer you an online Parent Portal for the Student Nutrition Program. This provides you with a safe contactless service model.  You will need to sign up and fund the account in order to make purchases.  You can manage your child's account at www.payschoolscentral.com.  In addition to the ability to make advanced payments, you will also be able to view & check your student's balance online, setup low balance emails, set restrictions on the items that can be purchased, and run detailed account activity reports for your student's lunch account.

Payschools Central not only allows you to pay for meals through an easy-to-use online portal (www.payschoolscentral.com), you can also use a convenient mobile app, for on the go use and management of your student's lunch account!

Creating a PaySchools Central account is easy, quick and free!  See details below.

If you choose to make advanced payments through the Pay Schools Central site, an Internet Convenience Fee (ICF) of 4.75% will be listed separately for each Credit/Debit Card transaction made.  There is a $1.95 Flat Fee for transactions made using electronic checks (ACH).  The transaction fee is only charged when/if you use Pay Schools Central to make payments to your student's account.  There is NO CHARGE for using Pay Schools Central to obtain balance records, view purchase history, or to sign up for the service. You still have the option of sending in a money order via mail or by sending in a money order with y our student to bring to the cafe. Money order payable to Aramark.  We do not accept personal checks or cash. As a courtesy to our students and families we will allow them to have a temporary negative balance of up to $11.00.  This will allow the student to have uninterrupted service up to that threshold. Once in the negative students will be able to make any purchase. If your student currently has a negative balance it will carry over and apply to the current school year.

Payschool Central Support, phone # 1-877-393-6228 to assist you with setting up an maintaining your account. Please refer any additional questions regarding www.payschoolscentral.com to ARAMARK. The school office staff will not be able to accept or refund monies to students; this can only be done through ARAMARK. All balances for returning students will be carried over to the next school year. If a graduating student has siblings who attend the school, monies can be transferred to their account(s) or donated to another student. We highly recommend that you monitor the account balance as the school year comes to a close, to minimize the amount of money that is carried over.

Sincerely,
Creig Ballentine
General Manager - Aramark Student Nutrition
