HPISD maintains a cafeteria point-of-sale software program that allows parents to safely and easily put money into their child’s account. To avoid low or negative balances, parents are encouraged to use auto-pay or email notifications. Parents or Students can also apply payments of cash or check to their account with the manager or breakfast cashier. No checks may be post-dated or held for deposit.

Cash is accepted at all lines

The policy at Highland Park High PTA Food Service on low or negative cafeteria account balances: Accounts with a balance of $5 or less will receive a low balance notification on a weekly basis. Accounts with a negative $10 will be placed on temporary hold. Anytime a senior account becomes negative the account will be placed on permanent hold. Click here to view the HPISD Low Meal Balance Policy. 

If your child qualifies for a reduced meal, he/she will have the option to purchase a basic meal (entrée or sandwich, fruit/vegetable, milk or juice) with the monies funded to their Skyward meal account. Your child’s Skyward meal account will be funded in the amount equal to the provided meal rate of $3.75/meal (elementary) and $5.50/day (secondary), times the number of school days left in the school calendar at the time of application approval for reduced meal assistance. Any purchases above the amount funded to the child’s account will be the responsibility of the child.


Money will be placed into the child’s Skyward account with a limit for either free or reduced rate, based on determined eligibility.
