Start of Year Student Meal Account Information

Welcome Back to a New School Year at DTSD!

We’re excited to kick off another great year at DTSD! Before you settle into new routines for school, now is a great time to check a few things off your list to ensure a smooth start — especially when it comes to your child’s school meal account.

Set Up or Review Your SchoolCafé Account

Add Funds Early
Avoid the hassle of low or negative balances by making a deposit before the first lunch line forms. You can easily add funds through your SchoolCafé account.

Set Up Payment Preferences
Take a moment to review or set up automatic payments and low balance alerts to help you stay on top of your student’s meal account throughout the year.

New to the District or Just Getting Started?
If you're new to DTSD or haven't used SchoolCafé before, now is the perfect time to create an account and explore your options for managing school meals.

Need Financial Assistance?
If you think your family may qualify for free or reduced-price meals, we encourage you to submit an application anytime after July 1. We're happy to assist you through the process — just reach out!
