There are a few ways you can pay for school lunch. Families can pay with cash, or check made out to Culinary Services. Please note your student’s name. Payments can be sent to school to teacher or brought to the office. We will get them to the lunchroom manager.

How to pay for school lunch online has changed. MySchoolBucks requires the Student’s ID number to create an account. The Student ID number can be found on report cards or by accessing The Source. MySchoolBucks charges users a $2.75 fee for credit/debit card meal payments and $2.49 for electronic check meal payments for a maximum payment limit of $200.
