Online payments for lunch accounts should once again be available. We were able to come to a solution with the company who collects the payments and hopefully were able to get things going again with minimal disruption. Be sure to continually check your students fees through the TeacherEase parent portal and submit any outstanding payments online or by cash or check to the office directly. Thank you and Go Mustangs!

IMPORTANT! - Our student information system is changing the vendor who collects online payments. We are experiencing some difficulties in getting set up with the new vendor but are in the process of working with Common Goal Systems to find a solution. The ability to make online payments will be disabled on March 18th and it is unclear right now as to when it will become available again. We will keep you posted. Payments for lunch accounts can always be made via cash or check turned into the office. Thank you and Go Mustangs.
