Food Services - Online Payments

jwarrender — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:15:10 +0000

Food Services has moved to My School Bucks for online payments.

You may access online payments through https://www.myschoolbucks.com/

Questions? Please contact Michelle Falvey

mfalvey@norwichpublicschools.org

(860) 859-5015 x116

The MyNutrikids.com website is currently locked while user accounts are being moved over to mySchoolBucks. Parents logging in to MyNutrikids.comduring the first 48 hours will not be able to make new payments. The following message will appear: “Your district has temporarily disabled MyKids (online prepayments). Please check back on or after 12/17/12”. After this period, parents will automatically be redirected tohttps://www.mySchoolBucks.com.

Logging into mySchoolBucks could not be easier! Usernames and passwords for parents are the same ones from MyNutrikids.com. Parents that did not previously have an account with MyNutrikids.com will need to register for a new account on mySchoolBucks.com.

When a parent makes a payment on mySchoolBucks, the payment will be instantly approved and downloaded to your NUTRIKIDS POS Manager within ten minutes; however, it may take a few days for the payment to reach your district’s bank account. Heartland Payment Systems is now the payment processor, therefore PayPal is no longer available.

Administrators and Parents both log in at: https://www.mySchoolBucks.com. However, only your administrators will be able to see the administrative features of the website, which include:

Daily Batch Report –The Daily Batch Report will detail ACH payment information for the date range you specify.
Deposit Reconciliation –This report will show the total dollar value of payments made each day during the selected month. When clicking on a particular day, it will display which payments were applied to that total. This includes information about the payment, the student the payment was made for, and the amount of each payment.
Password Resets – District administrators can change user passwords, or send out Password reset e-mails for parents who may have forgotten their password.

Things to know about mySchoolBucks:

The convenience fee per transaction will change to $1.95.
mySchoolBucks has the following payment methods available for use:

Visa®, Mastercard®, Discover®, Electronic Check

Parents may fund up to $120 per student, but a family may pay for all of their students on a single transaction.
Due to legal requirements, we are unable to transfer automatic e-mail notifications. If parents previously setup low balance email alerts in MyNutrikids.com, they will need to set those up on mySchoolBucks.
The MyKids (MyNutrikids.com) Service Agreement will be replaced with an agreement from Heartland Payment Systems. This agreement covers provisions from each of the credit card brands, as well as various legal requirements.
