We encourage all families to set up their child’s My School Bucks account. This app allows you to monitor your child’s meal purchases and account balance. You can also upload funds directly to your child’s account and set up auto-pay (for a fee). Students can also pay at the cafeteria register.
MySchoolBucks program has a convenience fee per payment.
During 2025-2026 School Year, households will not be required to pay the reduced price $0.40 for lunch due to the State of Georgia budget covering these costs.
