Families may apply for free or reduced meals at any time throughout the school year, should your financial situation change. Applications are available in each school office or on the Pottsville Area School District Website. Approved applications are NOT retroactive and the free or reduced status begins on the approval date. If your child has qualified for free or reduced-priced meals, this information is securely contained within the Point of Sales system and the meal will be processed just as it is for all other students. All students will automatically be enrolled in the Point of Sales (POS) payment system.

Payments into your student's lunch balance can be made using one of the following methods:

1. Send a payment to school with your student in an envelope marked with your student’s name, homeroom teacher and student number. Payments can be made by cash, check or money order. Checks should be made payable to: Pottsville Area School District Cafeteria.
2. Make an electronic payment using www.schoolpay.com. There is a small fee charged each time you make an electronic payment. You must create a parent account prior to adding funds to your student account.
