• All students in Fort Wayne Community Schools receive meals at no cost to families.

Charge Policies

Elementary

• Charges for a’ la carte purchases are not permitted.

Secondary

• No charges are allowed. Cafeteria Managers will instruct students to borrow money from a friend or call his/her parent or guardian requesting money.

All unpaid charges at the end of the school year will remain on the student’s account the next year - it is the parent’s responsibility to pay these charges.

Online Payment

You can pay for your students’ a la carte items online.

• Access Online Payments by clicking the link.
• Things to know:
  • From this site you will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account. All you need is your child’s name, student ID number, and school ZIP code.
  • If you have more than one child in the District you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account.
  • Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or with a major credit or debit card.
  • In order to cover the bank costs associated with the online prepayment service, Titan charges a convenience fee of $1.95 per transaction. Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $1.95 fee once per deposit transaction.

Other Payment Options

In addition to the Online Payments system, Nutrition Services accepts cash and check as payment options for a la carte. We encourage students to put money on account at the beginning of the school year. Parents may specify how money on account is used for a la carte items.
