How do I add money to my student's lunch account?

Eden Prairie Schools has a computerized meal system called Infinite Campus. Each student is assigned a personal identification number (PIN) that corresponds to their meal account.

Deposits to meal accounts (cash or check) can be sent to school with students any day of the week for any amount.  Please make checks payable to Eden Prairie School District and put your child's name and PIN on the memo line.  Or funds can be deposited online through your parent portal account on a one-time or recurring basis.

Funds remaining in the account at the end of the school year will carry over to the following year.  Parents can log into the Parent Portal through Infinite Campus to access their student’s meal account and view cafeteria purchases. 

Please remember that meal accounts are not intended to be charge accounts.  Parents/guardians will be notified by e-mail when the account balance is negative on Tuesdays and Fridays after 4 p.m. through Infinite Campus. You should check your parent portal account often if you do not choose to set up recurring payments.

If you wish to place a daily spending limit on your child's meal account or limit what items can be purchased, please call your school's cashier.

Adding Funds to Your Student's Meal Account Online

The district uses the online system in the Parent Portal for parents to add funds to student meal accounts. Fees for activities, sports, and transportation are paid through Fee Pay. 

The Food Service tool allows parents access to the following food service information:

• Current account balances
• Transactions (food item purchases, account deposits)
• Account history (historical transaction records)

The tool can also be used to add funds to students’ accounts on either a one-time or recurring basis.  The first step is to set up a payment method.

Adding a credit card/debit card/checking/savings account:

1. Click My Accounts, then Payment Methods.
2. Click New at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select the appropriate option (credit/debit card, checking or savings account).
4. Enter all required information.
5. You may choose a nickname to help you identify the payment method. 
6. You may choose to make a payment method your default by clicking Use as default.
7. Click Save.

Adding money to a Food Service account (one-time):

Automatically adding money to a Food Service account (recurring):
