Pay for Meals

Elkhart Community Schools encourages parents/guardians to prepay for student meals to help lunch lines move quicker and to give students more time to enjoy their lunches. 

• Online payments: a simple, safe and secure way to make payments to your students account 24 hours a day at your convenience. Elkhart Community Schools uses LinqConnect (formerly known as Titan Prepay Services) to manage online payments: Linqconnect
  • Please note:
    • Linqconnect administers a $2.60 surcharge per transaction as a convenience fee.
    • Parents may use their previous Titan credentials on LinqConnect. All parent/student information and existing funds will be transferred to this new platform. 
    • Visit this page for more information.
• Checks: parents/guardians can also send a check to school with their child. We encourage parents/guardians to print deposit slips to accompany payments sent with students: Deposit Slips
