Resources

  • Please take advantage of the options to prepay your student's meal account. Prepaid meal accounts help the lunch lines go faster and give students more time to eat, relax and socialize. It also gives you the peace of mind of not having to worry about looking for lunch money every day or worry that it might get lost, stolen or used for things other than lunch.

    MySchoolBucks is our online payment service. It provides a quick and easy way to add funds to your student’s meal account using a credit/debit card or electronic check for FREE. You can also check balances, view recent purchases and set up low balance alerts.
