Cafeteria Payments

Students who wish to purchase a la carte items such as second meals, snacks, chips, cookies, and/or a beverage to go with a packed lunch, must have funds in their student meal account.  NO cash will be accepted at the cafeteria registers this year

How to put funds on your student’s meal account:


Option 1: Pre-pay for student meals using SchoolCafe www.schoolcafe.com/SouthMiddletonSD (click here for link). Create an account (no credit card necessary) and track your child's meal balance using the website or app.

Advantages of Utilizing SchoolCafe:

  • If you have more than one child in the District you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account and track all deposits made.
  • You can setup automatic low balance e-mail notifications for the students enrolled in the program
  • Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or with a major credit or debit card.

*Note: For credit card payments, there is a service charge for payment processing, information security, and support.
