Use LINQ Connect to pay for school meals

 

 

 

 

 


Bethlehem Central School District is now using LINQ Connect as an online payment tool for school meals. LINQ Connect charges a convenience fee. Cash and checks are still accepted as payment for school meals.

LINQ Connect is a secure, online payment system that allows parents to:

  • Make an online payment to their children’s cafeteria accounts.
  • Remotely monitor their children’s accounts.
  • Set up automatic recurring payments.
  • Set up low-balance email message alerts.
  • Make other school related purchases.

Fees

  • There is a convenience fee per credit card transaction charged by LINQ Connect for prepayment to cafeteria accounts. LINQ will charge a $2.60 flat fee for all LINQ Connect transactions. Maximum transaction is $300.  There is also an ACH option that has a $0.99 transaction fee. 

NOTE: Funds can be deposited to your child’s account at school via check or cash and there is no transaction fee. Checks should be made payable to “Bethlehem Central School District” and sent to your student’s school in a sealed envelope marked “School Lunch” with your child’s name. If sending cash, please send it in a sealed envelope marked “School Lunch” with your child’s name.
