Lucas Coin Drive a Big Success

We want to thank the Lucas community for another successful Coin Drive. Our school collected $877.31 last week in pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars. That is an increase of $275.05 over last year. Great job! Also, a special thank you to all of the Lucas staff, teachers and PTO volunteers who supported this effort, including Ann Kessler, Brooke Hill, and Ruthina West.

School Dining Account Payments

School Dining Account Payments: Please remember these are not charge accounts, and balances need to be checked at least once a week.  Payments sent to school for student school dining accounts must be clearly labeled with the student's full name and teacher.  Families are encouraged to pay with checks or money orders, not cash.  The Food Service Department Is not responsible for cash payments sent to school.  If purchasing for more than one child, list the information for each child on the payment, we do not need separate checks.  Balances stay with a child as long as they are in our district, regardless of full, reduced, or free status.  A $12.00 fee is charged to your child's meal account for each insufficient fund check.   A web site is available to access information about your student’s accounthttp://fs-pos.iccsd.k12.ia.us/.  If you are not already using this site, please contact Jackie Andresen at andresen.jackie@iccsd.k12.ia.us or 319-688-1254 to obtain your password and ID.  

Online Payments Are Easy And Convenient!

Parents can make online payments from home or work, 24/7.   If their child’s meal account balance is low, it only takes a few minutes to add money by using their VISA or MasterCard credit or debit card.  Web store payments are immediately posted to your student’s School Dining account.             

To make online payments:

·         Visit our district website www.iccsd.k12.ia.us or http://iowa-city.revtrak.net Log-in ID and password are needed.

·         On the district web site click on Menus & Nutrition

·         Under Important Links for Parents, click on Lunch Account Program, or click on “On Line Payments”, bottom left of district home page.  This accesses the web store where payments can be made

·         Please Note: When making online payments, only MasterCard and VISA (credit and debit cards) are accepted.  Credit card payments cannot be made at school.

Finally, a $2.00 fee will be applied at checkout for the convenience of making your online payment.
