Be Lunch Ready
LINQ Connect is the secure online system used to manage your child’s school meal account. LINQ Connect lets you add lunch funds, set up recurring payments, and track meals. Students use their school ID in the lunch line. Get started at LinqConnect.com or download the free LINQ Connect app for convenient access anytime.
Get Involved
Want to help in the classroom, join a field trip, or support school events? Complete the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) Volunteer/Chaperone Application which is valid for three years and includes a background check to ensure a safe and secure environment for all students.
5th Grade Outdoor Ed chaperones also need a fingerprint clearance card. Plan ahead as this is a timely process!
NOTE: Obtaining your fingerprint card does not guarantee your involvement in the Outdoor Ed trip.
