Student Account Information
All students in grades K-12 have an account, which can be funded to purchase ala carte items. Cash, checks or money orders are accepted, as well as online payment. Families can make checks payable to “Cohoes Lunch Fund” and include with payment the child’s account number and child’s full name. Students may also use cash to purchase meals and/or snacks.
Online Payment
The district is no longer using K12 Payment Center as its online payment vendor. All account balances have been automatically transferred to our new vendor, LINQ Connect.

LINQ Connect also has an app available for iOS and Android devices, allowing families to easily check their balances, add funds to their accounts and track purchases.
