*Important changes involving Sendmoneytoschool.com

Sendmoneytoschool.com has been replaced by lakeorion.familyportal.cloud.  Please visit the lakeorion.familyportal.cloud site to set up a lunch account for your student.  There is a tutorial at the bottom of the Family Portal page that walks you through the process of setting up an account.

You may add money to your child’s account, transfer money from one child to another, and apply for the Free/Reduced Meal Benefit from this site.

If you would like to apply for the Free/Reduced Meal Benefit but do not want to set up an account, you may apply as a guest from the lakeorion.familyportal.cloud site. 

Meal Payments

Prepay for meals or a la carte items online using a credit or debit card at lakeorion.familyportal.cloud

There is a $2.95 convenience fee for every $100 deposited.  Parents can access this site to check balances and meal purchases at any time. Food Service does not accept personal checks; Cash is not accepted at the elementary level, however, cash deposits can be made at the secondary level.

Meal Charges

Children will not be allowed to buy second entrees or ala carte items if there is no money in their account. Please check your child's account at lakeorion.familyportal.cloud.


Accommodations may be made if families need assistance paying the service fees associated with depositing money. Please contact the food service department to inquire. Inquiries will be kept confidential.

Free/Reduced Meals

Be sure to apply for Free and Reduced Benefits online at the lakeorion.familyportal.cloud. Eligibility for other programs (including P-EBT) are based on Free and Reduced status but you MUST complete a “Sharing Permissions” form for the information to be shared with specified program.  You must apply for the Free/Reduced benefit every school year.  Complete one application per household. You will be notified by email if you qualify.

If you qualified for a free or reduced-price meal last year, we will use last year’s eligibility for the first 30 operating days.

Solicitud de las Comidas Escolares Gratis oa Precio Reducido (Free or Reduced Price Lunch Application in Spanish)

Please Note: We highly encourage all families to fill out this form. Many of the supplemental grants and federal aid our school district receives are based on the total approved free and reduced meal applications. These funds enhance the educational opportunities of our students.
