Wicomico School System Introduces The Convenience Of MealpayPlus

Wicomico parents and guardians who want the convenience of managing their student’s school meal account online can now sign up for MealpayPlus.

Through MealpayPlus, parents and guardians can put money on their student’s cafeteria account, using either a credit card or electronic bank check. There is a small charge for each online payment, which is shown before the transaction is finalized. Parents and guardians can check the account balance and review the student’s purchase history to see how the meal money is being spent, all at no cost. The account can also be set up to notify the parent or guardian when the account balance is running low.

“This is a wonderful convenience for our families,” said Eric T. Goslee, Food Services Supervisor. “Instead of sending their child to school with cash or a check and relying on the child to turn in the money, they can choose to manage payments to meal accounts online.” (Cash and checks will still be accepted.)

Offering families convenience and access with MealpayPlus enhances communication between home and school and directly supports the school system’s Bridge to Excellence Master Plan strategic priority of effective and efficient operations.
