  • Create A Mealtime Account

    Burr and Burton uses a service provided by MealTime that makes it possible for parents to make credit or debit card deposits into the student’s cafeteria account, view account balances, and view purchase history over the Internet. Setting up an online account is strongly encouraged if for no other reason than for checking student balances.

    Follow this link for instructions on how to set up a Mealtime Account.

    Parents may set a low balance notification indicator which will notify them when the account reaches a predetermined level. If accounts are not replenished by the time the account reaches zero, the account will be suspended and the student will not be able to charge until the account is refilled. Families with more than one student have the option of sharing balances so that if Student A is short of funds the account will draw from Student B. Please let the Business Office know if you would like to activate this feature.

    Please note that Mealtime balances are not transferrable from one school to another.
