Lakewood School District Food Service is making available to our students and their families the opportunity to pay for school lunches online using MealTime Online. MealTime Online is a convenient way to deposit funds electronically into your student's cafeteria account. All online deposits are processed each morning at 5:00 a.m. Deposits made after 5:00 a.m. will not be processed until the next morning. MealTime Online charges a 4.9% processing fee for this service.

You may also view your child's account balances. To get your password or ask questions, please contact Leanna Davis, Food Service Supervisor at ldavis@lwsd.wednet.edu. Visit the MealTime link: www.mymealtime.com.

This new online system is being made available for those who wish to access their child's account online. If you prefer to continue sending funds to school for meals that is perfectly acceptable.
