Defiance City Schools

Dear Elementary and MS Parents,

Great News! Dealing with your children’s lunch money and school fee payments just got a lot easier. You can now add money to your child’s meal account and pay for school related fees all securely online from your computer, tablet or smartphone!

You may have previously been using K12PaymentCenter to access your child’s meal account and view their cafeteria purchase history. You now can also pay for school related school fees at the same time.  This further reduces the chances of lunch money and school fee payments getting lost or stolen. Plus, it saves you time from bringing payments into the school! You can schedule recurring payments, set up notifications, transfer meal funds, and make meal payments and fee payments at the same time.  It will also save your payment history so you can refer back at any time.  You will have access to your child’s account 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

How Do You Get Started? It’s simple!
