School Cafe
MASD uses SchoolCafé as its online meal management service. It can be used for online meal payments and the free/reduced lunch program. SchoolCafé is a safe and secure way for parents to monitor student(s) lunch account balance, view meal purchases and payments, and set up low-balance email alerts.
There are only a few steps to
register for a SchoolCafé account. You will need your child's student 8-digit student ID number, which can be found on your child's student ID card or in the PowerSchool Parent Portal under "demographics." You may also contact your school office to request this number.
Additional directions are available here.
SchoolCafé also offers a free mobile app where you can pay online, view and monitor student meal purchases, set purchase restrictions, and apply for free & reduced meals. Download it in the app store or get it on Google play.
Student Cafeteria Accounts
K-5 Students: Schools will distribute scannable ID cards to their students during meal serving times. The cards will then be collected and held by the student’s teacher until the next school day.
6-12 Students: Students will use their 8-digit PIN Numbers at Checkout (including free/reduced students).
Note: If there is a negative balance on the student's account, à la carte items must be paid with cash.
Negative Balances: If a student has a negative balance on their account a notice will be sent home. Any money remaining in the student’s account at the end of the year will be rolled over into the following school year. Balances can also be refunded by sending a written request to
