During the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress authorized spending that allowed schools to serve free meals for all students.  Those funds are not authorized to continue for the 2022-2023 school year.  As a result, Ponder ISD must return to charging for school meals and offering free and reduced price meals based on student eligibility.  Applications are available online and paper copies are at all campus offices. 

Funds may be loaded onto your child's account using EZSchoolPay, turned in to your Elem teacher, or given directly to the cashier in the line. 

To minimize delays in the lunch line, change from purchases will automatically be loaded on your child's account.  We will not have change available.    Thank you for your understanding.

The student price for reduced breakfast is $.30 cents per meal for all campuses.

The student price for reduced lunch is $.40 cents per meal for all campuses.

Ponder ISD offers the online EZSchoolPay service to the parents of PISD students. Parents are always welcome to check the account of their children at any time free of charge – there is no cost whatsoever associated with balance inquiries, viewing transactions history for the past 30 days and getting email alerts on balances. EZSchoolPay service also allows parents to make deposits to their account for a fee. This service is simply offered as a convenience for those parents who find it helpful. As always, Ponder ISD will continue to accept deposits in the form of cash and checks. Payments can also be made at each cafeteria. At the Elementary payments can also be made to the classroom teacher.
