Payment For Cafeteria Charges

Petaluma City Schools operates as a School Food Authority (SFA) under the California Universal Meals program. As such, all students are entitled to receive one breakfast and one lunch for free each school day regardless of their eligibility status.

At the secondary school level, some food items are available for purchase each day on an “a la carte” basis.  A la carte items are not available for purchase in our elementary schools. Additional meals are available for purchase as long as your student has a positive balance in their food service account (described below).

If you would like your student to have the option to purchase a la carte items (if applicable) and/or a second meal, we ask all parents/guardians to ensure their child has sufficient funds in their student’s food service account.  Funds can be deposited into a child’s meal account in three ways:

  1. Pre-pay funds into your child’s account online using Linq Connect (formerly called Titan School Solutions).  This method is strongly encouraged.  Please note, there is a small convenience fee.
    1. When depositing funds online, please go to Linq Connect (formerly called Titan School Solutions) to set up and/or manage your child’s online meal prepayments. 
  2. Make a cash or check deposit in the cafeteria at the school site when a cafeteria assistant is present.
  3. Bring a check to the PCS District Office at 200 Douglas Street, Petaluma, CA 94952.

If you have any questions, or if there is any assistance we can provide to facilitate this process, please contact the Food Service team at (707) 200-7938 or email us at pcsfood@petk12.org.
