Beginning with the 2008 school year, a new online Payment Center is available for CUSD parents. MySchoolBucks.com is a convenient online service that allows parents to make payments to their child’s meal account using Visa, Mastercard, or Debit card.

Create an account on the mySchoolBucks website and, for a small fee, prepay money directly into their child’s account. (Remember to have your child's CUSD issued ID/PIN # when opening an account. This number can be obtained from the school, and is the same PIN# that your child uses on the cafeteria Pinpad.)

Added benefits include on-line availabilty 24x7, 365 days a year; the ability to view meal purchases; track balances; set low-balance email reminders; and even schedule recurring payments.

This service eliminates worries about lost of stolen lunch money and gives parents visibility into what their children are eating at school. Go to mySchoolBucks.com to create an account today. If you have any questions, please contact Kendria Tavares at 331-6949.

As part of the educational process, we encourage students to make choices from the food available on the serving line. In order for students to obtain all of the proper nutrients, Nutrition Services encourages the students to eat the complete meal on their own tray. The food on the tray is for the consumption of that child only, and may not be shared. Parents are welcome to eat lunch with their child and purchase a meal for $3.50.
