******* ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES ******************
Unpaid Meal Charge Guideline:
Effective July 1, 2019
Notification for Parents: The goal of Plano ISD’s school breakfast and lunch program is to provide healthy meals to children during the school day. In order to serve healthy, high-quality meals to all children, we must make sure we are financially secure. Since parents play a key role in this effort, we want to share the district’s Unpaid Meal Charge Guideline.
Students with Unpaid Meal Charges: Families are expected to provide a breakfast or lunch or provide their child with cash or money deposited in their child’s meal account to purchase school meals. Meal account balances may be viewed by parents online via PayPAMS (https://paypams.com/HomePage.aspx). Parents/guardian may make payments in students’ account through the online payment system or in person at the campus site.
