Payment Options
Cash/Check Pre-Payment
Paying with Cash
Please put your payment in an envelope and write the child's name, student ID number and teacher's name on the outside of the envelope. We apologize for the inconvenience, but depending on the status of the ongoing coin shortage, we may ask for change to be left on a student's account.
Paying by Check
Please write the child's name and student ID number on the check.
NSF Checks
When you write a check to the Walton County School Nutrition Program, you are consenting to have your check electronically deposited. Checks which returned due to insufficient funds are sent to Envision for collection, telephone number (1-877) 290-5460 or (770) 709-3100. Envision will contact you if they receive a returned check for you. Please do not call the school, school personnel will not have information about returned checks.
Online Pre-Payment
To better serve our families, WCSD will offer a more reliable online payment program for student meals. ezSchoolPay will offer the ability to view meal account balances and dates your child eats a meal. Users can also set up low or negative balance alerts.
**When establishing your ezSchoolPay account, search by "Walton" rather than a city or zip code.
Families may use credit cards or debit cards to fund a child's meal account. A small convenience fee will be applied to each transaction.
All funds left on MyPaymentsPlus for school meals have been transferred over to the new system and will be available for students.
Meal Charges
Students are allowed to charge a certain dollar amount before being offered an alternate meal. The dollar amounts vary by school level. Any combination of meals could be charged, but once the charge limit dollar amout has been reached, WCSD must offer an alternate meal to the student. To help our schools avoid offering alternate meals, please keep your child's meal account fully funded.
Charge Amounts (based on 2023-24 meal prices):
- Elementary: $11 (equivalent to four lunch meals)
- Middle: $6 (equivalent to two lunch meals)
- High: $3 (equivalent to one lunch meal)
- Adults: $4.50 (equivalent to one lunch meal)
Customers are not allowed to charge a la carte items. Account balances must be positive to purchase a la carte items without cash in hand.
Schools will restrict charges during the last two weeks of each school year. Notices will be sent via the most common method for mass communication at the school (email or telephone call-out).
If a student does not have money and has reached the charge limit, an alternate meal will be offered for breakfast (cereal and juice) and lunch (sandwich, fruit, and milk). If the student continues to come to breakfast or lunch without money and the account continues to be delinquent, School Nutrition will bring the account to the attention of the counselor and/or principal at the school.
