🍽️Meal Account Information - Adding Funds Online 🍽️
Thank you for your patience as we’ve transitioned to our new cafeteria system!
We’re excited to share that digital payments are now available for adding funds to your student’s meal accounts. Want to use a debit or credit card? You can now do that easily, just follow the instructions below to get started!
As always, mailing checks or cash to Central Office remains an option. Digital payments are simply an additional, convenient way to manage your student’s school meal funds.
Friendly reminder that Breakfast and Lunch for the 25-26 School Year are Free District Wide. The students that primarily use additional funds are Middle School and High School Students with their ala carte options in the cafeteria. These additional purchases are optional for those students.

District-Wide Make-Up Day: Friday, April 3rd
Duncan Public Schools will be in school for a make-up day on Friday, April 3rd.

Snow Day January 30th, 2026
No Virtual Learning
This isn’t how we hoped to finish the week, but safety has to come first. With temperatures expected to fall below freezing overnight and icy spots likely to return on neighborhood and school roads, Duncan Public Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30th.
Road conditions should improve later in the day, but the morning hours are expected to be difficult for buses, student drivers, and staff. We know this closing may cause challenges for families, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we make decisions with safety in mind.
We look forward to welcoming students and staff back on Monday, ready to start a new week together!
