Food Services

In an effort to address changing lifestyles and to offer better service, we are pleased to announce an online payment option for your child’s school lunch account.      

The objective of the IUSD Food Service Program is to partner with parents in their child's nutrition at school.  Parents can view account balances and transaction history, set ala carte spending limits, and make deposits directly to their child's account via a secure internet connection through LunchBox.

Lunchbox and Efunds are two separate entities.
