Garrett County Public Schools Food & Nutrition Services is happy to present the TITAN Family Portal.
Through the TITAN Family Portal, parents can set balance reminders and low balance alerts, monitor transactions, submit Free/Reduced online applications, and safely process one-time or automatic payments via Visa, MasterCard, or Discover for a small processing fee.
Users must set up a new account as personal student information cannot be transferred from the previous system (myschoolbucks.com). However, account balances from the previous provider are stored with the Food & Nutrition Services department, and they will be transferred upon individual family portal set up. All previous balances have been transferred to our new point of sale system and will be available on the first day of school.
