Food Service
Any balances remaining your student’s meal account from the 2016-2017 school year will move forward to the new school year. You can view your child’s meal purchases and account balances online through Skyward/Family Access.If there is a negative balance on your child's account, please be sure to pay the amount owed as soon as possible. Please note these negative food service balances are considered fines and must be paid before things such as student parking passes will be granted. If you have recently made a payment and it is not reflected in the online balance, we appreciate your payment. The updated balance should be reflected shortly in your student's account. Please contact Food Service at 360-563-7357 or food.service@sno.wednet.edu with any questions or concerns.
Step 1 - Log into Skyward/Family Access and select “Food Service” from left menu. Screen with account information for your student(s) will open. Be sure you are using your parent/guardian login – using a student login gains you access to Student Access, which will not allow you to make a Food Service payment.
Step 2 - Select “Make A Payment.” If you have more than one student you will need to update payment amount for each student that you would like to make a payment for.
Step 3 - Online payment entry screen will open. If you have more than one student you will be able to make payments for all of your students from this screen. Select "Update Payment Amount."
Step 4 - Online payment entry screen will open. Enter the payment amount and then select “Update Cart” which will take you back to the online payment entry overview screen.
Step 5 - Confirm that the payments have been updated.
Step 6 - If total payment info is correct select “Pay with Vendor.”
Step 7 - Shopping cart screen will show you the payments that are waiting to be processed. Select “Go to Checkout” to complete the payment process. If you have previously set-up a RevTrak account you will be asked for your account information to process the payment. If you are a first-time user, you will be asked to set up a RevTrak account.
