The forms and information are completely confidential and will not be shared with teachers or administrators, and no other children will ever know. The children use PIN numbers to purchase their food, and only the food services manager knows how much each child pays for the meal.
Lunch Account
Families may pay for school meals in one of two ways: by setting up an online payment account or by paying cash. Students can also use this money to buy "A La Carte" items. Detailed information on payment methods is outlined below.
- Online - MySchoolBucks is a user-friendly service that is free, convenient, private and secure. Once the account is open, parents can check the fund account at anytime.
- Cash - Cash may be brought to the food services manager’s office for deposit on student’s account, or students may pay cash on a daily basis.
