For information about your student’s meal account balance please use SchoolView and FeePay. When adding to your student’s meal account, please make all checks payable to ISD196 Food Service, and include your student's PIN or ID.

Students can purchase meals by entering their Universal PIN (Personal Identification Number) that is assigned to them by Food & Nutrition Services. When the code is entered, the electronic system automatically deducts the appropriate amount from the student's meal account. Your student will use the same PIN from grades K to 12 within District 196.
