Please note that LINQ Connect must be used with the Google Chrome web browser.  Once on LINQ Connect, you will click on REGISTER in the top right corner to create an account, then add students to your account.  If you already have a Titan Family Portal or LINQ Connect account, you will click on LOGIN to access your account.  There you may add one-time payments, schedule recurring payments, and transfer money from student to student within your family.  You may also view previous transactions, set low balance notifications and more.  LINQ Connect allows parents to pay online for a fee of 3.95% of the transaction, with a minimum charge of $2.85 per transaction.  Parents may monitor the balance in their child's account at no charge.

Pay with cash or check at your children's school.

  • You may leave a payment in a payment envelope at the front office of your student's school.
  • Checks may be made payable to IUSD Nutrition Services.
  • Please be sure to include your student's name and pin code on the payment envelope or check.
  • You may make a payment for multiple students attending the same school on one check.
  • You may make a payment for multiple students attending different IUSD schools on one check.
    • Please indicate how much money should be deposited to each child's account.
    • Be sure to indicate which school each student attends, if depositing one payment for students at multiple school sites.
  • There is no fee for making a payment at the school.
  • Payments are posted every day before serving times.

Transaction History data for the 2019-20 school year through the current school year are available via LINQ Connect.
