Meal MagicThe Waterford School District Food and Nutrition Services Department uses the computerized point of sale system called Meal Magic. An account is established for every student in the district using their Student Identification Number. Each account contains their photo, class, grade, account balance along with their ID number. 

Students at the secondary level enter their student identification number on a pin-pad to make purchases and deposits. At the elementary level food service personnel enters the information for them. 

Parents have online access to the students’ accounts through SendMoneyToSchool.com which allows them to deposit money in their accounts, check account balances and view the purchase history. There is a $1.00 minimum deposit. All deposits made online at SendMoneyToSchool.com will be credited to accounts within one business day. Occasional processing delays could occur due to circumstances beyond our control.

Any funds remaining on your child's account at the close of the year will remain on their account and be available next school year even if your child transfers to a new school in the Waterford School District. Negative account balances also transfer to the next school year. Students who have negative meal account balances will not be able to receive their schedules for the next school year. Please pay negative account balances prior to the school year end.

If a student is leaving the district, it is the parent’s responsibility to check the student’s Meal Magic account. If there is a negative balance, payment can be made with check or cash to the school kitchen or by credit card on SendMoneyToSchool.com. If the student has a positive balance, you may have the balance transferred to an account of another child who is remaining in the district or request a refund check. Please contact the Food & Nutrition Services Office at 248.682.0394 or bradyr01@wsdmi.org for assistance.

If you would like to recieve an email notification when your child's account balance reaches $5.00 or lower, please send your email address via the following method:
