Lunch Accounts: Remember to put money into your child’s lunch account. It is very
easy with the new program: www.mypaymentsplus.com and follow the on-screen instructions
to create an account. There is also a toll free number (1-866-821-0306) that families can
call to make payments and check their student’s account, if they do not have access to the
internet. There is a charge of 4.75% each time a deposit is made through MyPaymentsPlus.
Please note these fees do not go to NPSD, but is the cost of online transactions with
MyPaymentsPlus. Families can benefit by this system because it allows you to: make
payments using a credit card, debit card or check; check account balances online and via a
toll free phone number; auto-pay a student’s account when it reaches a low balance;
receive notifications when a student’s account balance is low; view a student account
balance 24/7; monitor student purchases to what they are purchasing; inform the cafeteria
staff about your child’s food allergies which will enable a computerized reminder system to
prompt cashiers to review the student’s purchase for possible reactions.

license at our reception desk. If you are coming to an IEP, Team or Teacher meeting or to
