Apply Online for Meal Benefits

It is important for families to apply for meal assistance. This is what helps determine how much funding the school district gets for programs that help children, families, teachers and administrators.

1. Go to www.PayschoolsCentral.com
2. Click the option to register and set up your account
3. Once your account is set up, you will need to know the six digit Student ID number for each child on the application. This ID number is found in Power School under your parent portal log-in. Additionally, many of the students know their ID number and may be able to provide that to you. If you are unable to locate this ID number through one of the methods listed, please feel free to call your child’s school or the Food Service office at 614-501-1030.

The online application may be completed on a laptop, desktop computer or mobile device.

1. Help for your family. Besides free-or-reduced priced school meals, your family may qualify for reduced school/activity fees, medical/housing/utilities and more.
2. Help for our schools. The more applications the District gathers at the start of each school year, the more additional funding we could receive for all kinds of programs that directly help our community.
3. Fast and secure. It only takes a few minutes to complete the online application. Your data is handled with strict protocols that ensure security and confidentiality.
