During school age years, proper nutrition can reinforce lifelong eating habits that contribute to a student’s overall well being. This can help them grow and learn to their fullest potential and then go on to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Intermediate District 287 provides a healthy breakfast and lunch to students each day. The USDA has determined that meals will NOT be free for all students going forward. A qualifying meal application will need to be completed to obtain free or reduced-price meals during the 2022-23 school year.

Meal applications are available online below in the forms tab. Paper applications will also be mailed to families with your back-to-school paperwork during August 2022.

Please watch your email and check out 287 social media for food service updates and information.

Please make online payments into your student(s) meal account at www.paypams.com for any purchases they plan to make.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Account Payment Information

Payments for milk and à la carte items are available for all sites online with credit card or electronic checks.
