The NCCS Food Service Department is proud to announce that the free breakfast and lunch program will continue this summer. These meals will be provided to all kids in our community who are 18 years of age or younger in the back parking lot at North Canton Middle School. Meals will be distributed in the drive-thru format from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. While we plan to offer breakfast and lunch daily, the format may change, depending upon participation because we're always ready to make changes to better serve our community!

PaySchools Central Online Payment
Our Point of Sale system is set-up to take credit/debit cards and electronic checks via PaySchools Central found at https://payschoolscentral.com and can be quickly accessed by clicking on the PaySchools Central button on the right. Simply set up an account for your child(ren) using their PIN (student ID) number. This system will allow you to view purchases, add money to their account, schedule automatic payments and send you email reminders of your child’s account balance if you wish. This is the same system you would use to make School Fee Payments as well. You do not have to pay online to view your child’s account. Click on the "PaySchools User Tutorial Video" link on the right for more information or you can call PaySchools Parent Hot Line at 1-877-393-6628.

Please Note:

All meal account balances from the end of 2020-2021 school year have been carried over to the new school year. You can check your students accounts and add funds at PaySchoolsCentral.com.

National Meal Programs; Free and Reduced Meal Application

National School Lunch Program and National School Breakfast Program
North Canton City Schools participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast program at all of the schools in our district. Some students may qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Click on the link on the right to access our Online Meals Applications. Paper applications are available in each office or you can download the Free and Reduced Meal Application. Free and Reduced meal applications can be filled out at any time of the year, but we must receive a new meal application each school year. There is a 30 day carryover period at the beginning of each school year in order to have enough time to process new applications.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Special Dietary Needs and Food Allergies

Food Service is happy to accommodate students with special dietary needs and food allergies within our abilities. Students must provide written medical documentation from the treating physician in order to provide for this accommodation. This documentation must include, but is not limited to, a statement of the allergy, what dietary changes from the traditional school meal are necessary, what specific foods must be omitted or substituted and what dietary items can be used to replace the items. This documentation should be given to the school nurse.

We are unable to substitute any item for milk according to the USDA and the Ohio Department of Education [USDA Final Rule Fluid Milk Substitutions in the School Nutrition Program (73 FR 52903)]. We will provide a cup and water to any student that asks, or students can choose a 4 oz juice cup as part of the fruit offering on their tray, as well as purchasing bottled water and juice cups a la carte.

Our Meal Charge Policy is located on the right hand side of this page for your review. Our school meal charge policy was created with the following goals in mind:
