Paying For Meals
Access meal accounts online
You can now create an account online to access your child’s meal account balance, account history, and make account deposits.
Your child’s six-digit student ID number will allow you to access this feature. If you are unsure of the number, please contact your school or the food and nutrition department at 319-558-2305 or foodservice@crschools.us.
Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards are accepted for lunch deposit payments. A bank handling fee of $1.50 per transaction will be assessed when depositing funds. There is no fee to access the balance and account history. Please note that Cedar Rapids Community School District does not profit from this service.
