PaySchools

The Canal Winchester Schools Food Services Department uses PaySchools, a simple and secure way for families to add funds to their child's lunch accounts and pay school fees with a debit or credit card. 

Click here to access PaySchools.


PaySchools is the easiest and most secure way to monitor your student's lunch account and add additional funds when needed. There is a convenience fee for PaySchools transactions.

We do accept cash or check (made out to Canal Winchester Schools with your student's Student ID Number in the memo line) at the register in the cafeteria. If you choose to send cash or check with your child to school, please make sure they give it to the Food Service staff at the register; teachers and office staff cannot accept food service payments.

First time users need to set up an account:

 You will just need an email account and your student’s ID # (your student’s lunch number, ask your student before contacting the district, most know their number).

After you have set up an account:

  • Add money to your student’s lunch account
  • Pay school fees
  • Set up ‘low balance’ emails to ensure your student has money for lunch.

Plan for 48 hours or 2 business days for monies to post to account.  Therefore, plan ahead for your student to have enough money to purchase lunch.
