Frequently Asked Questions

We have a computerized lunch accounting system in place at all schools. This system functions as a local banking system for students.

Once your child is registered with Minnetonka Public Schools, a lunch account is automatically created for your child. Your child's keypad number can be found on your Skyward Family Access account under Food Service. During mealtime, students will come through the line, enter their number on a keypad and state their name to the cashier. The student's account will come up on the cashier’s computer screen and the cost of the meal or the a la carte purchase will be deducted from the student’s account.

Online Lunch Payments

Lunch payments are made through Skyward Family Access using your My SSO username and password. Your username and password will be emailed to you from Family Helpdesk. Once you receive your username and password, view our Online Payment page for directions. Online lunch payments are real-time payments. Funds are available for your child as soon as your receive your confirmation email. We are a cashless department but will accept checks made payable to Minnetonka Nutrition Services. Please put your child's name in the memo line of the check.

Non-Reimbursable Lunch Charge

"Non-reimbursable" is a term we use when a student does not take what the USDA considers a "complete lunch". Each lunch menu consists of a minimum of 5 components: milk, protein, grain, fruit and vegetable item. A child must take a fruit or a vegetable item and 2 other different items from the menu in order for the lunch to be a "complete lunch". When a child does not select a complete lunch, we are not reimbursed by the federal and state agencies. If we are not reimbursed for the meal, we must pass those charges on to the cost of the student's meal. The non-reimbursable lunch cost reflects the actual cost of the meal. Our cashiers keep extra vegetable and fruit choices at their registers for students to take to make a complete lunch at the student price.
