PAYSCHOOLS CENTRAL

York Prep utilizes Payschools Central for parents to be able to add funds online, complete the free/reduced meal application, set up reminders and alerts, review your child's purchases, and enroll in auto-refill. Families can add money to their child's Payschools Central account online (fee added).

Create a PaySchools Central Account:

1. Create your account using your computer or tablet at www.payschoolscentral.com
2. If you want to use your phone, download the PaySchools Central app on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
3. Complete account registration by selecting register, entering your profile details, setting up your password via the email link PaySchools will send you, then logging in.
4. Add your children to your account using their student ID numbers.
5. If you’d like, enter credit card and/or banking information as forms of payment to use with your Payschools Central account, or simply plan to use guest checkout when the time comes.

FREE/REDUCED APPLICATIONS

York Preparatory Academy offers a free/reduced lunch program and ask ALL families to complete an application to apply for school meal benefits. Only the 2023-2024 application, signed after 07/01/2023 can be considered and processed for the 23-24 school year. Free and Reduced Meal Applications must be completed EVERY school year. Free and Reduced meal status only carries over 30 days into the current school year and then students will be required to pay full price if no new application is completed.

Payschools Central allows you to quickly and easily fill out free-and-reduced cost meal applications online in a secure, step-by-step portal. Once your application has been submitted through the portal, you will immediately receive your eligibility and will be able to download your determination letter. Your application will be sent from a secure website directly to York Preparatory Academy, so you do not need to worry about filling out a paper form that could be lost or misplaced. We recommend applying online; however, paper meal applications will be available at the Student Union front desk. If you have any questions, please contact Debra Blanchett at 803-324-4400 ext. 1210 or email debra.blanchett@yorkprepsc.org.
