Point of Sale (POS) Program

The Point of Sale Program allows each student to deposit into his/her account any amount of money to be used to purchase meals, snacks and milk. What your child can purchase with the money in his/her account is determined by what you, the parent, have indicated to us when sending the money to be deposited. A form is available to send with your deposit. Please click this link to complete a form and send in with your child to the kitchen manager in your child's school. 

  • Web Based Point of Sale Deposits may be made at www.PAYPAMS.com. This program not only allows you to deposit monies to your child's account but the program allows you, the parent, to access your child(ren)'s accounts so you can more easily manage them from the comforts of your home or office!  Access will be secure and will allow you to put money on the account, transfer money from one child to another, and identify what your child is buying.  Simply go to www.paypams.com and register.  We encourage you to use this secure and dependable system for getting your child(ren)'s accounts ready for the school year.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Parents using this system to deposit money into a child's account using a credit card will be charged $1.95 per transaction for each of your students.  Parents who wish to check the account but are not depositing money by credit card will not be charged a fee. Students using thier PIN at the school will not be charged a fee other than the cost of the items being purchased.
  • Parents wanting to deposit money for meals only, keep in mind the price of breakfast and lunch and multipy by the number of meals you wish to purchase.
  • Deposits made to a student's account through PAYPAMS will take at least one day to process into their account.  Please plan accordingly.
  • If you wish to allow your child to purchase snacks as well, you may indicate how much he/she is to spend each day or may leave it unlimited. If you plan to limit it, please include the price of a lunch and breakfast, if you choose to allow it, to your limit for snacks so that your child will be able to purchase both breakfast and lunch and snack. The amount you would send in would then be determined by these limits and how often you expect your child to purchase.
  • For parents whose children only purchase milk, we will limit their account to $.50 for 8 oz. or $.75 for 10 oz./day and make a note it is for milk only.
  • Any money left at the end of the school year will carry forward to next school year. At the end of the year we will send home a reminder of what your child’s account has remaining in it.  Students moving to a new school (Timothy Edwards or South Windsor High School) will find the money left at the end of the year in their account at the new school! Seniors will be given their account balance in early May so they have time to spend it down before the end of the year as there are no refunds.

We do ask that students, who are bringing cash or checks for their accounts, bring their checks or deposits in before school begins on Monday morning but will accept payments any morning. Checks received at meal time will slow the process down for all students and therefore we do not encourage students to bring it at lunch time. Deposits made at meal time may not be available until the next day. Please plan accordingly!
