School Supply Lists
School Café Accounts
Visit PaySchools to pay by credit, debit, or bank account. You can also set up auto-replenishment and monitor your child’s transaction history and balance.
Bonus for Auto-Replenishment Users! Families who set up auto-replenishment in PaySchools will receive one FREE lunch per enrolled student!
It’s easy:
1. Set up auto-replenishment through your PaySchools account.
2. Email Chef Tina at cafe@acanj.org to let her know you enrolled.
3. She’ll add the FREE lunch to your child’s account.
The café also accepts cash or check – Send funds in a sealed envelope or Ziplock clearly marked with your child’s name and labeled Lunch or ACA Café.
Important: Please keep your child’s account in a positive balance. If the account reaches a negative balance and no lunch is packed, we will provide a lunch. However, if the account falls below -$25, a parent/guardian will be contacted to bring both a packed lunch and payment to school.
Even if you choose not to make online payments, you can still create a PaySchools account to monitor balances and transactions.
