Starting February 1, SCUSD families will be able to pay for student meals online, which will streamline lunchtime cafeteria service, reduce long lines and eliminate risks associated with the handling of cash. Through the mySchoolBucks.com online payment system, parents can electronically deposit lunch money directly into SCUSD’s cafeteria fund bank account. The service uses a “super-secure” data center with a 128-bit encryption for confidentiality. Families will be able to prepay for as many meals as they wish using a credit or debit card. A $2 fee will apply.
