Systems Design + i3 Verticals
We’re excited to share that our school district is transitioning from the Systems Design payment platform, Lunch Money Now to PaySchools Central, a modern, cloud-based system that offers a more secure and user-friendly experience for managing school meals and fees. As part of this change, all parents will be redirected to PaySchools Central when accessing the old system.
Welcome to PaySchools
You’ll need to create a new PaySchools Central account, but don’t worry—all current balances will transfer automatically. The new platform is easy to use and only requires one-time setup.
