Pre-pay for meals

For your convenience we offer pre-paid meals to our students. Pre-paid meal prices for elementary students are $30 and for junior high and high school students they are $35. Our cafeterias have a computerized system that gives each student a PIN (personal identification number.) Money can be placed into their private account for them to access for meals. For each $30/$35 ($5 with reduced application on file) per student that is paid into their account, one (1) bonus meal will be given. If paying by check, please make the check payable to North Colonie Food Service. This system is easy for students to use and eliminates worries about having the correct change in the morning or losing money. 

Pay for meals online, too!

The North Colonie Food Service Department offers parents a secure and convenient way to pay for your child's meals. You will need your child’s PIN to set up the account. Once an account is in place you can view from home your child’s daily balance. Go to www.paypams.com to set up an account today!

The PAYPAMS feature is not presently available to St. Ambrose and Saint Pius X families. Any questions regarding Food Services, please contact the Food Service Office at 786-8856.

New School Messenger phone system keeping parents informed

The North Colonie School District is now using an automated phone system called, "School Messenger," to help keep parents informed about their child's prepaid meals accounts. This system will call your household once a week if your child has a negative or low balance in their meal account. This service is replacing the paper notices that were previously sent home from the school cafeteria.
