A Safe and Convenient Way to Pre-pay for Meals!


Seattle School District Nutrition Services Department is pleased to offer PayPams. Parents and guardians can now pay for school meals through the internet or by phone using either a Visa, Mastercard or Discover credit/debit anytime of the day.

THE USE OF PAYPAMS IS MORE THAN JUST A CONVENIENCE!

OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:
  • Eliminate writing checks or sending cash to school
  • Make payments safely and conveniently from home or office
  • Establish automatic payments with email confirmation
  • Email notification when a meal account balance is low
  • View daily cafeteria purchases and payment history
Convenience of PayPams
There is a service fee charged for each payment transaction of $ 1.95 per student. This fee is paid directly to PayPams to cover the administrative expenses of maintaining the PayPams website. Seattle Public Schools does not pay for this service nor does it receive any payments from PayPams. Seattle Public Schools has partnered with PayPams to offer this service to those parents or guardians that would like the option of paying by credit/debit card either over the internet or phone.

PLEASE NOTE:

Checks and cash are always accepted by the manager of the lunchroom either as a pre-paid deposit to a student's account or for purchasing individual meals or milk.
Checks should be written to Nutrition Services.
