Hershey Public Schools has made a change to its online lunch payment system. Due to recent issues with eFunds, the service has been paused, and families will now use Edutrak for all online lunch transactions.
Edutrak is now up and running, providing families with a convenient, all-in-one platform to manage lunch accounts. With an Edutrak account, parents and guardians can:
Check account balances
Review statement information
Customize low balance notifications
Complete a free and reduced-price meals application
Make online lunch payments
This new feature replaces eFunds, which is no longer being used for online transactions. Families who already have an Edutrak account are automatically set up and ready to go.
Fees for Online Payments
Please note that fees are associated with online payments made through Edutrak:
Checking account payments(coming soon): $1.50 for transactions between $0.00–$99.99. The fee doubles for each additional $100.
Credit or debit card payments : $2.75 for transactions between $0.00–$99.99. The fee doubles for each additional $100.
Other Payment Options
Cash and check payments will continue to be accepted at school with no additional fees. Families are asked to place cash in an envelope and clearly mark the family lunch account it should be applied to.
Low balance email notifications will continue to go out around 6:45 p.m. daily. Families are encouraged to set up or log into their Edutrak accounts to stay informed and up to date.
