Food Service Account Procedures
Applications:
Please be sure to complete a free/reduced school lunch application for your family. It is important to list everyone in your household. The application will be made available middle to late August.
*Students who submitted a completed application for Child Nutrition Program in the 23/24 school year, their eligibility will carry over into the 24/25 school year for up to 30 days. Eligibility from the previous school year will expire on 10/16/24. Please be sure to reapply for the 24/25 school year prior to 10/15/2024.
Free and Reduced Lunch Application
Important information for Parents/Guardians:
Each child has a meal account that is tied to their student ID number. Please make sure your child has funds in their cafeteria account. Your children will never be denied a meal at breakfast or lunch, but they will not be allowed to charge any a la carte food items, beverages or snack items.
All meals that are provided will be charged to your child’s account and you are responsible for payment. This also includes any a la carte items such as entrees or sides that are not prepackaged.
Adding Money to your child’s account
The district utilizes a program called MySchoolBucks in which you can monitor your child's account and add money if you wish. By utilizing this program, your child will never have to worry about their account balance. You can also send a check to the district food service office or the school cafeteria at any time to apply money to your child's account. For help with opening an account please call MySchoolBucks for assistance at 1-855-832-5226. https://www.myschoolbucks.com
Negative Balances
Letters will be sent to parents of any students that owed over $10.00 on a monthly basis. If a child is consistently charging their meals, the principal will be notified and a call will be made to the parent. If you have any questions regarding your child's account, please feel free to call the Food Service office at 716-407-9096 at any time.
