As of May 23, 2023, our MPS school meal platform is now LINQ Connect! This new platform is an upgrade from TITAN Family Portal and if you had previously used TITAN, there is no need to change your username or password! Simply log in at LINQConnect.com. Your student and payment information will automatically transfer to the new LINQ Connect.
If you already have a TITAN bookmark in your web browser, you will automatically be redirected to LINQConnect.com. You may choose to either rename your existing bookmark, or create a new one for LINQConnect.com. If you used the TITAN Family Connect app on your smart device, the new LINQ Connect app is available from either Google Play or the App Store. You may find more information in the right hand column of this page.
The new LINQ Connect platform will provide a fresh new look and new features to make it easier to deposit meal funds, pay balances, view menus and allergens, apply for educational benefits (AEB), and more.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your student is new to Minneapolis Public Schools, you will be unable to link them in LINQConnect.com until their first day of school. We apologize for this inconvenience. Please be assured that your student can still receive meals even if they are not linked during the first days of service. If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact info.cws@mpls.k12.mn.us.
Additional Support:
Please note that LINQ does charge a $1.00 fee per transaction to deposit funds. To avoid this fee, you can send a check to your student’s school, labeled for the lunch room coordinator. Please make checks payable to MPS Culinary & Wellness Services. Be sure your student name(s) are included on the check to ensure the money is credited to the proper account. Contact info.cws@mpls.k12.mn.us with any questions regarding LINQ, meal balances, or student eligibility and IDs.
Minneapolis Public Schools welcomes and appreciates any effort to help reduce or eliminate student negative lunch balances. Lunch balance donations are made directly to AchieveMpls via the steps below:
Donated funds are reviewed monthly and then applied to balances based on their designations. Those with no designations are applied to balances based on need.
EVERY FAMILY. EVERY YEAR. ALL families with children enrolled in the Minneapolis Public Schools district should complete an Application for Educational Benefits each year.
Hello MPS Staff & Colleagues!
We in MPS CWS would be proud to have you join us for lunch. MPS lunches are nationally recognized for fresh local ingredients and innovative menus. Get ready for fresh and convenient lunches by taking a moment to create a LINQ Connect account and loading it with breakfast & lunch money.
