NUTRIKIDS POINT OF SALE COMPUTERS
The Food Service Department uses the NutriKids computerized system in all cafeterias. Each student has their own account and pin number, and deposits in any amount may be made to the student’s personal account. Any time you have questions about your child’s account, you may contact your child(ren)’s cafeteria manager for a “History Transaction Report”, which shows all transactions made in a student’s account.
MySchoolBucks
MySchoolBucks has a smartphone app, which makes paying for school meals even easier during the school year. Now parents have one more way to conveniently pay for their students meals!
Please take advantage of the options to prepay your student's meal accounts. Prepaid meal accounts help the lunch lines go faster and gives students more time to eat. 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 other things other than lunch.
You can also set up in your account to receive "low balance notification" emails based on the amount you choose. When your child's balance goes below that amount, an email message will be automatically sent to the email address in your user profile.
Hover your mouse cursor over Meal Accounts and click Cafeteria Meal History. A list of purchases made in the cafeteria will appear. Please note that only up to the last 90 consecutive days will be displayed under your child's transaction history.
