Helpful hints

If you are new to the online payment center, you will need to create a new account. You will need:

  • Your student's identification number.  This can be found on your student's bus pass, or on middle/high school class schedules.  You may also contact the school office to ask for your student's PowerSchool ID number.
  • A personal email account to receive confirmations after payments have been processed as well as to set up low balance notifications.
  • A valid credit or debit card, even if you register just to monitor your student's account.

 

Processing fees charged by LINQ Connect

Most features in LINQ Connect are free. You can view account balance information, see upcoming menus, review recent purchases, transfer funds between your students, and set low balance alerts at no charge. The only time a fee is charged is when a payment is made through the service.  LINQ Connect charges a convenience fee of $2.85 for card payments or $1.85 for ACH payments below $72.15. Larger payments are charged a fee of 3.95%. 

This convenience fee covers the cost of processing your payment and providing this service. Cabarrus County Schools does not receive any portion of the convenience fee. As a fee-free alternative, you may send cash or check payments to your child’s school.
