This fall, Nutrition Services transitioned meal payment processing to Campus Parent Portal Food Service. Starting the week of January 14, families will again begin to receive student account balance messages.

On Wednesday, January 16 at 6:30 p.m., families whose student’s meal account balance is negative $5 and below will receive an email and text message including the balance and a reminder to add funds for each student. These messages will be sent every Wednesday for each student whose account is negative $5 and below.

Families also have the opportunity to set up automated notifications for a specified dollar amount in Campus Parent Portal. Families can select to receive email and/or text notification or use the Campus Parent mobile app and setup push notifications. For example, a family may choose to be notified whenever their student’s meal account balance is below $10. These messages will begin to be sent on Monday, January 14 at 5 p.m. and will be sent daily based on the dollar amount selected.

To set up a low balance amount, click here to login to Campus Parent Portal and follow these steps:

  1. Along the left-hand side, click on “Notification Settings”
  2. Check the box next to “Low Lunch Balance”
  3. Click the drop-down box to select the dollar amount
  4. Click “Save”
  5. Click “Contact Preferences” along the left-hand side  
  6. Under the “General Notification” column, check the boxes where you would like to receive text messages and/or emails
  7. Click “Save”

If you have already set up a low balance amount, please login to Campus Parent Portal to select your notification preferences. Follow steps 5-7 above.

Nutrition Services has recently added directions on their website on how to make a one-time payment, set up recurring payments and to edit your user settings. Read the directions and learn more about how to update your notification preferences here.
