Nutrition Services
Karen NeimanAll Painesville City Schools are participating in the new Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), offered by the USDA for low income school districts that qualify, which allows the Nutrition Services Department to provide one school breakfast meal and one school lunch meal per student per day free of charge.
In order to receive the free breakfast and/or lunch meal, students must select the minimum amount of items to make a combo meal or they will be charged a la carte pricing. All students must still enter their PIN when receiving their meals or a la carte items at the cashier stand.

MY SCHOOL BUCKS
Money may still be placed on students' accounts to be used for purchasing a la carte items. If sending in a check, please make it payable to your school cafeteria. Sending in cash with elementary age students is not encouraged. Credit card payments are accepted on the www.MySchoolBucks.com site.
MySchoolBucks provides parents the ability to view your child’s account balance as well as make credit card prepayments. Allow 24 hours in order to view transactions from the last 30 days (for the first time) and credit card payments to be received. You must set up an account on MySchoolBucks to use this service.

NutriKids point of sale system is used in all school district cafeterias. All students must enter their 6 digit PIN number (found on report cards or schedules) when coming through the breakfast or lunch line.
MySchoolBucks has a "Low Balance Notification" email service but you must set up an account on MySchoolBucks to use this service. To turn on the Low Balance email notification, you must log into your account, go to "Email Preferences" and check the box to have an email sent for a low balance that you specify. The recommendation is for $9.00 to be set for the low balance amount. You must uncheck this box if you wish to discontinue this service or not receive these notifications over school breaks.
