Check to see if you have a positive balance remaining on your account or if you owe money to Ephrata Schools.

NOTE: The image below shows balances for two separate students in the same family. To view students individually, click the arrow next to the words "All Students," which appears next to the Skyward logo.

Any balance or debt owed will be in the "Current Account Balance" area.

Cualquier saldo o deuda adeudada estará en el área de "Saldo de cuenta corriente".
 

If the "Current Account Balance" area shows a positive amount, you have the option to:

• Receive a refund
• Request to have funds issued to your student's school for payment towards past due fees
• Transfer funds to another student who owes money for school meals
• Leave the funds in the account for your student to pay for "a la carte" options available at EMS / EHS or to pay for a second meal.

Once you've determined the option that's right for you send us an email that specifies your preferred option and includes the following:

1. Student's Name
2. Student's Date of Birth
3. Address in Skyward
4. Student's School
5. Parent / Guardian's Name

IF YOU ARE REQUESTING A REFUND

Please verify that the address in Skyward is your current address. If it is not, please update before submitting your request. Learn how to update your address in Skyward.

NOTE: Checks are issued twice per month.

If you are requesting to have funds transfered for past due fees

Make sure that your email states whether you would like your fees transferred to your student's school to pay for fees owed or if you'd like to pay for another student who owes money for school meals. If paying another student's fees, a family will be selected at random, unless a name is specified.
