Other Payment Methods

Payments to the meal account may also be made by cash or check at your student's cafeteria.  

  • Checks should be payable to Caddo Mills ISD Child Nutrition and include your student’s ID number. 

  • No temporary checks will be accepted. CMISD accepts checks with a full name, street address, home phone, secondary phone and driver’s license number.

  • When paying by check, you authorize the recovery of unpaid checks and the recovery of the state-allowed fee by means of electronic re-presentment. If your check is returned unpaid by the bank, checks will no longer be an acceptable form of payment for the remainder of the school year. 

Low Balance Reminders

Parents of elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school students will receive low-balance email reminders.

As per the Caddo Mills ISD Charge Policy, students will not be allowed to have greater than -$10.00 balance. Any meal purchase that will cause the account to exceed this limit will result in giving the child an alternative meal. Breakfast will not be offered to students with a meal account balance exceeding -$10.00.

Refunds, Transfers and Donations

Refunds are available upon request. If you wish to transfer money to a sibling’s account, donate funds to a student in need, or request a refund on your student’s account, please contact the Child Nutrition Department at rkelly@caddomillsisd.org.
