As of January 1, 2017, school districts are required to provide nutritional information on all menu items. The Eastchester School District lunch program is managed by Aramark. The program employed by Aramark to meet these regulations is Nutrislice.

The Eastchester School District maintains a computerized point of sale (POS) system in all school cafeterias. This provides a convenient and secure way to set up a pre-paid lunch account for your children. You do not have to pre-pay in order to buy lunch in the cafeteria. Checks will still be accepted daily. No cash will be accepted at this time.
There are several ways to pre-pay an account:
You can submit funds directly to your child’s school cafeteria. Checks should be made payable to Eastchester Union Free School District. Please send checks in a sealed envelope labeled with your child’s name, grade and amount enclosed. The deposit amount is not limited and there is no fee to make deposits at the register. You can monitor and/or add funds to your child’s account using the web-based “MyPaymentsPlus” or utilize the free mobile app for iOS & Android devices for cafeteria payments. All payments made online or using an app are subject to a fee of 4.75% of the transaction amount.
The free MyPaymentsPlus mobile app allows users to view balances, make payments, monitor cafeteria purchase history, and receive low balance push notifications. You can also search for MyPaymentsPlus in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Features availability may vary by district.
You need to know your child’s school ID number for MyPaymentsPlus. This is not the same as the student PIN that is used to purchase food. This ID number can be found in Home Access Center. It is also noted on students' report cards, as well as high school and middle school schedules.
The following is a general description of the system and its features:
Every student is assigned a personal identification number (PIN) that remains the same K-12. Each time a student makes a food purchase, he/she will use the PIN or last name. A school picture of your child will appear on the screen to ensure that the student entering the PIN is using the correct number. Students should not share their PIN with others. If the account is pre-paid, a deduction will be made from the student’s account. Each student’s record of cafeteria purchases can be viewed by parents (whether you choose to pre-pay or not) by registering it. There is no charge to register, only charges to make deposits.For questions related to the lunch program, contact Gary O'Grady.
For refund requests related to school lunch account balances, contact William Gavin.
