Food Services Online Payment

Bellingham Public Schools provides an easy way to add money to a food account by making payments through the online system, MyPaymentsPlus.  If a food account balance is low, it will only take a few minutes to add money using a credit/debit card or a checking account at any time of the day from anywhere. Payments will post within one-hour to the student’s food account. Families will be charged a small fee for making an online payment. Or, families can continue to pay for school meals with cash or check at their school.

To begin the registration process, go to the Food Services Online Payment webpage. Follow the instructions to register or go straight to MyPaymentsPlus.

For questions regarding meal payments, call (360) 676-6540 or email  BPS.MealPayments@BellinghamSchools.org.
