Account Balance and Payments

NEGATIVE MEAL BALANCES – HOW CAN I HELP?

School lunch is provided to every RCAS student who wants one whether there is money or not in his or her account. No alternate meals are provided for students carrying negative balances.

We are able to accept donations to pay off students’ negative balances.

If you would like to donate, you can donate online via this link or send a check to the Student Nutrition office at 851 West Street, 57701.

HOW TO MAKE PAYMENTS

Online

You may pay online using E-Funds for Schools.

Please note that E-Funds is no longer compatible with Internet Explorer.

Please use Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.

How to make a payment:

• Using Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, click here to go to the eFunds webpage.
• Click Fund Lunch.
• Click either Continue as Guest, Login, or Create an Account.
• Add students by typing in their Last Name and Student or Family Number (aka: Other ID).
  • This can be found in Family Access under Student Info or by calling 605-394-4061.
• Follow the instructions to add a credit card and complete a payment.
  • Minimum $10 payment required.

eFunds and Skyward (our Student Information System) don’t always “talk to each other” on the balance in your account; we go by the balance in Skyward as that is the one that would be most accurate. Please reach out to our office at 605-394-4061 or email Lisa Schmoll at Lisa.Schmoll@k12.sd.us if you have any questions.
