  • Money can be added to your child’s account at any time by sending cash or a check made out to “NBISD Food Service Program” in an envelope. Your child should give this envelope to the lunch cashier before school.

    Remember, the envelope should be clearly marked “Lunch Program” with the child’s name, amount, teacher’s room, and parent contact information in the event of any questions. If the payment is for more than one student in the same campus, indicate how the money should be split (for example, Johnny = $10.00 and Sally=$15.00). Payment can be made in any amount to best suit a family’s budget. We cannot split payments for siblings or students that attend different campuses.

    Payment can also be made online at  www.myschoolbucks.com. More information is available on our Web site under “Parents”. Your child can also pay on a daily basis. 
  • The easiest way is to create an account with myschoolbucks.com. Your child’s purchase history is available one day after the account has been created This site will even enable you set “low balance reminders” that will generate an email to you when your child’s account falls below your preset amount. Or you can contact the Child Nutrition office at 830-627-6743 or your child’s specific campus cafeteria.
  • If your son or daughter happens to forget their lunch from home, they may choose from the meal plan and you will subsequently be charged.
