Metro District is excited to introduce our new meal pre-payment system, designed to make paying for school meals easier and more convenient for families across the district. Starting this school year, parents and guardians can pre-load funds onto their child’s meal account through the Nutrislice app or online portal, ensuring that students have access to nutritious meals without the worry of carrying cash.
The meal pre-payment system is available for all grade levels, from kindergarten through high school. This system allows families to add funds in advance, monitor meal purchases, and receive notifications when the balance is low. It’s all about providing a seamless, worry-free experience for both students and parents.
“Providing students with access to healthy meals is a top priority for us, and our new pre-payment system ensures that families have a reliable and secure way to manage meal payments,” says
John Marino, Metro District’s Head of Nutrition Services. “The system is easy to use, and we’ve seen a significant increase in participation since its launch.”
For students, the pre-payment system offers peace of mind. They can focus on their studies and socializing without worrying about how to pay for lunch. For parents, the system provides detailed reports on what their children are eating and allows them to set spending limits or dietary restrictions.
Sarah Clarke, Metro District’s Nutrition Program Manager, explains: “Parents have told us they appreciate the transparency and convenience. No more forgotten lunch money or surprise charges—everything is managed from the app or online, and it gives parents full control.”
Parents like
Lisa Gutierrez, whose child attends Metro Elementary, are thrilled with the new system. “It’s been such a relief! I can easily track what my child is eating and ensure they always have enough funds for lunch.”
