PAYMENT AND MEAL ACCOUNTS:
For your convenience, we accept payment with MasterCard, Visa or Discover credit cards or checks on-line. You may visit the Meal Magic deposit website at www.sendmoneytoschool.com and register your family; this requires you to have your student(s) ID number(s). After approval you will have instant access to your children's account histories and the ability to make credit card or check on-line deposits using a secure internet connection. Students are allowed to only charge up to two meals. You are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your child has money in their account. Please call us with any questions. (231) 821-1731
