Do you have food service questions?
We’re excited to share a convenient way to manage your child’s lunch account — online payments are now available!
Please note that a small processing fee will apply to each online transaction. This fee goes directly to the payment processing provider and helps us maintain a secure and efficient system.
To get started, visit: https://westfield.revtrak.net/
Or you can go into your Skyward account to Food Service. There you will see "Make a Payment" and you will have the option to make recurring payments as well.
In addition to Skyward Food Service, you can see your child's daily transactions.
We will continue to accept cash or checks in the school office for those who prefer traditional payment methods.
We hope this new system makes managing lunch accounts easier for busy families. Thank you for your continued support!
