My School Bucks Account

If you haven’t already, please take a moment to set up your MySchoolBucks account ( Link here: MySchoolBucks ).

This account will stay with your child throughout their years in our District and is essential for purchasing items that are not covered by the State’s Free Lunch Program—such as milk and second lunches.

If a student does not select to get a school lunch but would like milk to go with their lunch from home, the cost of milk is $0.60.
