When a student enrolls at LEISD, they are given a student ID number.   The student ID number also serves as their meal account number. Students should memorize their student ID number since they manually enter it when they come through the serving line.  Students should refrain from sharing their student ID number.

If you believe that your household qualifies for the free or reduced priced meal benefits, please complete an application online or complete a paper application and return it to Child Nutrition. Paper applications are available at your campus or the Child Nutrition Services office.  Applications for free and/or reduced meals can be completed at anytime during the school year due to changes in financial income, unforeseen circumstances, such as unemployment.

Yes, each school year a new application is required to apply for free or reduced meal benefits.

The District is required to randomly verify 3% of the applications that we receive.

Parents/guardians may log on to www.myschoolbucks.com  and set up an account for free. Please note that there is a convenience fee of $2.49 for each single transaction that is made. This convenience fee is administered by the third party web provider.

Personal checks should be made payable to the student’s campus cafeteria. Please include the student’s full name, their ID number, and school name on the memo line.

Cash should be in a sealed envelope labeled with your child’s full name, student ID number, and school name.

You can set up an account at www.myschoolbucks.com to view your student’s meal purchases without cost or having to make a deposit. You will be able to see the date and transactions beginning with the date you set up an account at this web site for your child.

We strongly discourage meal charges, but we understand that an occasional emergency makes it necessary.  Parents/guardians are encouraged to utilize our online system (myschoolbucks.com) to monitor student balances.   The following policies will apply regarding meal charges.

Students with a negative balance may not charge a la carte items.  Students with a negative balance will be allowed to purchase milk or plain bottled water only with cash.

Any negative balance on the student(s) cafeteria account is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. The grace period for the charge policy is the school year. If a student’s meal account  has a negative balance, parents/guardians will receive daily notifications by LEISD’s automated messaging system. If a full payment or payment arrangements are not made in a reasonable time and the balance is greater than $25.00,  a Campus Principal, Assistant Principal or LEISD Administrator will be notified in order to collect the negative balance.
