School Lunch Program

Indian River School District students may purchase breakfast or lunch in their school’s cafeteria, or choose their own combination of food at a la carte prices. No student will be allowed to leave the school to go home for lunch and no food may be taken from the cafeteria. Students who bring their meals must eat in the cafeteria.

PS girl at lunchWhen students enroll in any school in the State of Delaware, they are assigned a four- to six-digit state ID number. Our district will use this number as the student’s personal cafeteria keypad number. The numbers are confidential. If your child transfers to another school within our district, the number remains the same. At mealtime, students key in their keypad number on the keypad. When the student’s account is accessed, his/her picture appears on the cashier’s screen. The system will determine if there is enough money in the account to pay for the meal and the transaction will be processed.

The Indian River School District participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Children may be eligible for free meals or meals at a reduced price, depending upon their parents’ or guardians’ level of income. Information relevant to application procedures are mailed to the home of every district child at the beginning of the school year. Families not receiving these materials or those needing a meal benefit form later in the year may obtain another by contacting their school's principal or the Coordinator of Nutrition Services at 436-1000.

PayPAMS

Parents can register online at the PayPAMS web site using their child’s student identification number. There is a $1.95 transaction fee. However, parents using PayPAMS will receive an extra dollar’s worth of meals for every $10 placed on an account. For example, $10 will purchase $11 worth of meals, $20 will buy $22 worth of meals, etc.
