• Our meal payments platform is LINQ Connect. Be sure to download the LINQ Connect app in the Google Play or App Store, or visit LINQConnect.com if you use a browser.  An Interactive Dashboard allows you to view all your students in one profile. If you don’t use our online meal payments portal, LINQ Connect allows you to set up onetime or recurring payments for your students’ meals. You can also view previous transactions, set spending limits, transfer funds between students, set low-balance notifications, and more. It’s an easy way to manage meal payments without the hassle of sending cash.

    A reminder to families that now twelve PCSS schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which means students at CEP schools can receive breakfast and lunch at no charge for the 2024-2025 school year. Families at CEP schools are encouraged to complete the household income form as this information helps ensure that Title 1 funds are distributed appropriately and may even help reduce school-related fees. The household income form can be reached by this link: Household Income Form for CEP Schools   The following schools will participate in CEP: 

    • Avery Trace Middle School
    • Baxter Primary School
    • Burks Elementary School
    • Cane Creek Elementary School
    • Cornerstone Elementary School
    • Jere Whitson Elementary School
    • Monterey High School
    • Northeast Elementary School
    • Park View Elementary School
    • Sycamore Elementary School
    • Upperman Middle School
    • White Plains Academy

    For students at the remaining schools not listed, filling out the Meal Benefits application (Free and Reduced form) could help cover the cost of lunch for families who are eligible. Breakfast continues to be free for all students in the Putnam County School System. Parents will need their child's student ID number to complete the form. Please contact your child's school to obtain that student ID number.
