After School visits are now charged to Food Service accounts.

For easier tracking, After School charges (along with Lunch charges) will be billed to each student's Food Services account. This is great news because now you will have instant access to dates and charges, and balance remaining in each student account for After School and Lunches together - in the Food Service section of your Schoolpay.com account.

Please remember that payments for After School and Lunch are due in advance, or at the time of service. Please make your payments in the Food Service section of your Schoolpay.com account. If you have any questions please contact Linda Tierney at linda.tierney@eagleschools.net.
