Dear Parent/Guardian,
The CASD Food Service Department is excited to announce some upcoming enhancements to our online school meal payment service.  Soon we will be transitioning your existing MyNutrikids.com® account to a new service called mySchoolBucks ® .  This website provides a number of key features that you will find beneficial including:
· Scheduled recurring payments
· Automatic deposits when your child's account balance runs low
· Extended purchase history for the past 90 days
· Low balance email notifications
Until this transition occurs, you may continue to make payments through MyNutrikids.com.  If you already have a MyNutrikids.com account, you will NOT need to create a new account with mySchoolBucks.  Your existing login username and password will remain the same.  Children that are associated with your account will also carry over to the new service.  Once the transition is complete, you will be automatically redirected to mySchoolBucks where you can begin using the new service.  Parents with an existing MyNutrikids.com account will receive an introductory email from mySchoolBucks, which will provide instructions on how to use this new service.  For more information about mySchoolBucks please visit : www.learnmyschoolbucks.com/Parent
If you have any questions please contact the Food Service Office at 765-2401, Ext. 2129.

If you do not wish to pay online, envelopes will be provided for making deposits into the student's account.  Please fill out all of the required information on the envelope.  It is imperative that payments be clearly marked & completely identified so payment can be applied to the correct account.  WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND PAYING BY CHECK.  Please make all checks out to Clearfield Schools Food Service.  CASD Food Service Dept. will not be responsible for any lost cash payments.  We ask that each student make individual payments at their respective schools (for accounting/auditing purposes, payments need to be made at the location that meals will be served). QUESTIONS: contact the Food Service Office at 765-2401, Ext. 2129.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started Guide for Parents

The Clearfield Area Schools' lunch and breakfast programs operate on a pre-paid system where an account is kept for each student.  The serving of unpaid meals will be limited to three (3) meals.  Grade4 thru 12 students with a zero or negative balance will be allowed to take a "qualifying meal" (charged to their account); however, they will not be allowed any extra items.  Once a student reaches the negative equivalency of three (3) meals, he/she will need to settle their account prior to being served any further meals.  If a student has reached the negative limit of 3 meals and is unable to settle their debt, a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, apple, and milk will be offered to the student.

Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third grade students will never be denied a meal due to unpaid accounts; however, a charge will continue to accrue throughout the school year. 

When a student's account reaches a negative balance, the student will be notified in the breakfast or lunch line and given an envelope for payment remittance.  This will be considered a verbal warning given to the student prior to refusal of additional meals once the negative three (3) meal limit is reached.  Students or parents may ask about their balance status at any time by calling the Food Service Office at 765-2401 ext. 2129.
