How to add and use Parent Account credit

Your Parent Account is like a store card, allowing you to put money into your account to be used for any purchases that you need to make in the future. It's a great way to put money aside to make sure you have it where it is needed, to pay for your child's meals or other school necessities.
You can add money into your Parent Account at any time and in any amount and it will automatically be used to reduce the cost of any purchase you make when you checkout.
