How to Pay for Meals
Nutrition Services uses PayPAMS for online payments for school meals.
Go to PayPAMS for more information.
PayPAMS will open for the 2026-2027 school year on August 17, 2026.
PayPams will charge a $2.95 fee per family, rather than per student for online credit card payments. PayPAMS can be used to set up low balance reminders, automatic deposits, to transfer funds between students and view account activity.
PayPAMS additionally offers a ACH Direct Withdrawal payment option. This option enables families to make payments directly from their bank account. The direct withdrawal option has a $2.50* transaction fee. *Effective Sept 7, 2026.
For credit card and ACH Direct Withdrawal payments, there is a $10.00 minimum and $250.00 transaction maximum.
Families/students may also pay for meals by check or cash at their child’s school. Checks should be made payable to Bellevue School District.

Meal Charge Policy
If a student does not have sufficient funds to pay for a school meal, it is the policy of the Bellevue School District (consistent with HB 1865 Hunger Free Students Bill of Rights) to allow the student to charge their meal. Snack bar or a la carte items (including milk only) may not be charged. Parents/guardians are responsible for negative balances on a student’s account. Parents may set limits by completing the Request for Restrictions form. Contact Nutrition Services for more information.
