Paying for school meals
Herkimer Central School District uses a point-of-sale system for school meals called EZSchoolPay. The system includes an online account management program at ezschoolpay.com. This website and app allows parents and guardians to monitor their students’ accounts and make payments using a credit card. No children will be denied a meal at any time regardless of whether or not there is money on their account.
Unless your family has applied and qualified for free and reduced-price meals, the cost of lunch is $2.75, and breakfast is $1.50.
Free and reduced-price meals
March 2023 update: A new online meal application portal (EZMealApp) is now available for families to use when applying for free or reduced-price meals. Parents and guardians are encouraged to submit an application for free and reduced-price school meals.
Visit ezmealapp.com and follow the prompts to apply. Families who have already qualified this school year do NOT need to fill out another application for the 2022-2023 school year.
As a reminder, meal applications do need to be completed each school year. Only one application per household, per school year is needed unless your students attend different districts.
This new EZMealApp portal was launched through Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES. Please call 315-738-0848 with any questions.
