MySchoolBucks is an online portal that allows parents/guardians to pay for student meals and other school-related costs and fees in one secure location. Funds can be added by credit card, debit card or electronic check.
Benefits
- Easy - Enrolling and funding is simple and completed online.
- Convenient - Once your account is established. You can check balances, view purchases for the last seven days and fund your child’s account from your computer.
- Secure - Your personal and payment card information is protected by the most advanced internet security.
- One Time - With the recurring payment option, money will always be in your child’s account. When a low balance is reached, money is automatically deposited.
- Low Balance Notification - Parents can receive an email message when their child’s account balance is low.
- Next Day Availability - Prepayments will generally be available at the school the next day.
Meal Accounts vs. School Store
- Meal Accounts require your child(ren)'s student ID. These funds are only available for school meals or à la carte cafeteria items.
- School Store does not require your child(ren)'s student ID. In the School Store you can purchase parking passes (see Student Driving & Parking for more information), pay for credit recovery courses, and buy tickets for district sponsored events like Prom, NHthon, and more. Direct links are often provided for items available in the school store.
