Online Payment System

LINQ Connect Logo

Schalmont uses LINQ Connect for its online payment system for student cafeteria accounts.

You can sign up 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.

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.

Breakfast and lunch is free for all Schalmont students for the 2024-25 school year.
