The Manheim Central School District is pleased to announce a new online payment service. Your child’s school now accepts payments for school meals through the mySchoolBucks.com online payment service. mySchoolBucks.com offers a secure transaction gateway that accepts VISA®, MasterCard®, and Discover as a means of adding money to your child’s meal account. Credit or debit cards can be used.
Here are a few reasons to register now and begin using mySchoolBucks.com:
-
Safety – Virtually eliminates worries about your child carrying money to school.
-
Convenience – Make payments when it is convenient for you, from the comfort of your own home, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
-
Control – If you are using mySchoolBucks, you will be able to view your child’s meal purchases at the school cafeteria. Also, you can set up an automatic e-mail reminder to alert you when a payment is needed for your child’s account.
-
Efficient – Make payments for all of your children in one step, even though they may attend different schools in our district.
To get started, all you need is a computer, internet access and an e-mail account.
It is not necessary to make payments on your child's account to view your child's meal purchases and account balance.
There is a fee for credit and debit card payments. You may choose a fixed transaction fee or pay a one-time membership fee.
If you choose the fixed transaction fee, you can make a single payment of any dollar amount and for any number of children, and the fee will be a fixed $1.35 per transaction.
If you choose the one-time membership or subscription fee, the fee varies according to the length of time you choose to use the service:
12 months - $14.80 6 months - $9.90
9 months - $12.90 3 months - $4.95
The service automatically deposits the money into the student’s meal account within one hour after the transaction is completed.
The Service or Membership Fee you pay does not go to the school district. All fees go directly to mySchoolBucks.com to cover the vendor’s cost of operating the online service. Refunds will be handled through the Food Service office.
To Register On-line:
Visit the website at http://www.mySchoolBucks.com. Follow the instructions on the screen and provide the required information in order to register. You can register each child using their date of birth and student identification number. You can find your student's identification number on their report card directly beneath their name. Be sure to enter your child’s name exactly as you did when you registered them at school. You will receive notification by e-mail of successful registration. For this reason, a valid e-mail address is required when you sign up for the service. We are excited to be able to offer this new service to our families. We hope you find it to be not only convenient, but a great time saver.
