NEW for SY 2026-27! Online Payments for student meals are now available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

Log into the parent portal, click the link for food service. This will take you to your children's accounts and show what their current balance is. From there you can add funds to their account and set up your payment method. Payments can be made with credit card or electronic check. Credit cards will include a processing fee. A minimal transaction fee of .35 cents will be added to each electronic check transaction. Parents are able to view student account balances, purchases and payment history online, and even receive low balance alerts, or enroll in autopay. You do not have to make prepayments to use many of these features.

Mypaymentsplus is no longer active for Pickens County Schools Food Service Meal payments. All account balances that appear when logging into Mypaymentsplus are reflective of the customer's ending balance from last school year. This balance was carried forward in each customer account as the year beginning balance in our new Infinite Campus Food Service point of sale software.
