A message from the cafeteria:
Parents, please check your student's lunch account! There are several students with balances that need to be paid. Students will only be able to charge lunch without payment two times. 

To check your student's account, go to  www.ezschoolpay.com
 
If you do not have an account, it is easy to create one. You can view and pay balances directly from the website.
