LINQ Connect

  • Did you know…?

    LINQ Connect provides convenience and information to manage school meal accounts.

    Visit to make deposits or monitor your student's meal account.

    LINQ Connect is provided as a service to families, parents and caregivers of students in аæèßäapp. While many of the features are free, a convenience fee is applied to support this vital service.

    The following LINQ Connect features are provided at no cost:

    • Account registration
    • Mobile app
    • Real-time account balance updates
    • Upcoming menus with nutritional and allergen information
    • Recent purchase details
    • Transferring funds between your students’ accounts
    • Low balance alerts (email or in-app)

    When making a payment, LINQ Connect charges a convenience fee based on the amount of your payment. You may add multiple students in your household to a single transaction to avoid paying multiple fees.

    LINQ Connect’s fee schedule:

    • For standard payments up to $72.15, a fee of $2.85 will apply
    • For large payments, a fee of 3.95% will apply to card payments
    • For ACH payments directly from your bank account, a fee of $1.85 will apply

     

    аæèßäapp does not receive any portion of the convenience fee. As a fee-free alternative, you may send cash or check payments to the school cafeteria with your student.
