Clayton Public School District

NEW FREE & REDUCED STATE GUIDELINES This year, the State requires that all families submit an application for the Free and Reduced lunch program. Even if you think you do not qualify, it is recommended that you fill out the application as the parameters to receive free and reduced meals have changed. If you choose not to complete the form, you have the option to use the “Check Box” that indicates you do not want to be considered for the reduced-price school meals. USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT YOUR REQUIRED FORM: https://mealapp.lunchtimesoftware.net/ NOTE: If you have received notice of a past due meal account, payments can be made by cash or check (make checks payable to Clayton School District) and delivered to the Cafeteria or you can use the online payment portal. ONLINE PAYMENT PORTAL: https://www.schoolpaymentportal.com/ConsumerLogin.aspx Please note that online payments will incur a fee of $1.00 + 2.3% of the transaction. Your student will continue to receive lunch and/or breakfast and their account will be charged accordingly.
