Meal Magic Family Portal is where parents can make deposits, transfer funds, check balances, view purchases histories, and perform other account-related activities.

Our district’s Meal Magic Family Portal page link is https://grandtraverse.familyportal.cloud. This is the same website that parents use to submit meal applications and Household Information Reports.

Because Meal Magic Family Portal implements new security standards, parents will need to create new accounts. To create an account, the parent will click the Register button and then submit their email address, they then will receive an email with a time-limited activation link that they must click to finalize their account setup. Once complete, they will be able to add their children to the account.
