Lunch Money Goes Digital for Ferguson-Florissant
Parents can now upload an account online for their children's school meals.
The Ferguson-Florissant School District has updated the way that parents send milk money to school.
PayPams will allow parents to pay for meals online or by phone for the student’s account. From there, parents can track what their child buys to eat, how much money is on the account and even set up automatic payments.
The user-friendly system will have a $1.95 service fee for each time funds are uploaded to the account. PayPams will not replace the traditional method of paying by check or cash.

The district has provided simple, step-by-step instructions for parents or guardians who are interested in using the system for the school year.
