My School Bucks Lunch Accounts

If your lunch account through www.myschoolbucks.com is scheduled for automatic or recurring payments... please disable these options for the summer.

If your student is graduating or transferring to a different school outside of their current school district…contact the Food Service Department at your student’s school regarding the current account balance and next steps for your account. While our service is offered in many schools, once funds have been added to your student’s account they reside with the school district; funds cannot be transferred between districts.
