Dear WPS Families,
Culinary Express is updating our point of sale system for school breakfasts and lunches to Titan School Solutions. Titan provides user-friendly solutions for families and removes the need for personal identification numbers (PINs). We will continue to use Nutrislice for our web-based menus and ordering system for distance learning meals.
Please remember that breakfast and lunch are free for all students for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year due to the pandemic. Students will only need funds in their account for the remainder of this school year if they plan to make à la carte purchases.
The new Titan Family Portal allows families to:
- Make online payments to your student's Culinary Express accounts
- Remotely monitor your student's Culinary Express accounts
- Set up automatic, recurring payments
- Set up low balance email or text alerts
- Submit an online application for free and reduced meals
- Put spending limits on your student's account
What are the biggest changes with the new point of sale system?
- Titan School Solutions replaces PayPams as the vendor parents will use for making school lunch payments and applying online for educational benefits.
- Your student's current meal account balance and free and reduced status, if applicable, has been transferred over to Titan.
- January 4, 2021: Culinary Express will go live with Titan!
- No more PINs. We are transitioning to using barcode scanning that will help make lunch lines go faster.
- Preschool and elementary students will no longer have to remember a PIN.
- Middle school students will receive temporary IDs when they return to hybrid/in-person learning.
- High school students and parents are receiving a separate email containing more information about ID options.
What will I need to do?
- Create an account in the Titan Family Portal that can be accessed from any computer, tablet or mobile device.
- Create an account by selecting "Sign Up Today!"
- Confirm your email address by clicking the email verification link sent to your email address.
- Sign in and add children to your Titan Family Connect. You will need to enter Wayzata Public Schools as the district, and your student's full first and last name, date of birth, school and grade.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we transition to our new system. If you have questions, please contact us at wpsculinaryexpress@wayzataschools.org.
