Meal Payments
Pay Here menus
**You can avoid convenience fees by adding money via check or cash in person at the school. School cafeteria managers at all HUSD schools accept pre-payment via cash or check before school starts or before lunch. (Please make the check out to: HUSD Food & Nutrition. Please also add the school name, student name, student ID# to the memo line - this is the most secure way to pay in person).
If you choose this method to add money to your student account, you can still monitor the transactions and balances using linqconnect.com or the LINQConnect app
Visit LINQ Connect to make one-time payments, add/reload funds, or schedule automatic payments securely to student meal accounts.
For more information, visit linqconnect.com or email support@linqconnect.com.
