Payment Information

New Online Payment System

Schalmont would like to inform our families that we are changing payment systems for student cafeteria accounts from MySchoolBucks to LINQ Connect starting Friday, March 1.

You can sign up for the new system at www.linqconnect.com or by using the LINQ Connect mobile app, which is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Please note, you will need your child’s 9-digit student ID number to register. It can be found on your child’s ID card and the Parent Portal. If you need help with the ID number, please contact District Data Coordinator/CIO Debbie Falcone at dfalcone@schalmont.net.

MySchoolBucks will no longer work for Schalmont families as of Friday, March 1. Any unused funds on MySchoolBucks will automatically transfer to the LINQ Connect system.

If you have any questions, please contact Food Services Director Maria Zarrillo at mzarrillo@schalmont.net. Thank you.

Check or Cash Payments

Families who prefer to pay by check or cash can put money into their child’s account by sending in a check or cash to the cafeteria. Checks should be made payable to the “Schalmont School Lunch Fund” and include the student’s PIN or full name. Please email Mrs. Zarrillo at mzarrillo@schalmont.net with any questions.
