Dear Parents:

With current national attention being focused on children’s health and wellness issues, Bishop Carroll’s School District’s Food Service Department is excited to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time.  This service also provides parents the ability to view your child’s account balance through a web site called MySchoolBucks.com.  By having money in each child’s account prior to entering the cafeteria, we find the lunch lines move along much faster so your child has more time to eat and be with friends. 

Also, parents will have the ability to print out a copy of their child’s eating history report.  This history report will show you all dates and times that your child has purchased a breakfast and or lunch within the past thirty days. 

To access these services:

1. Go to www.myschoolbucks.com.  Initially when setting up your information choose “Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown” as your ‘school district’.  From this site you will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account.  All you need is your child’s name & student ID number. 

Things to know:

• If you have more than one child in the District you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account. 
• Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or with a major credit or debit card.

.  However, if you choose not to take advantage of the online prepayment service you may continue to make advance payments via check, which should be made payable to the Bishop Carroll Cafeteria.  Please write your child’s full name on the check. 

If you have any questions about these new services, please feel free to contact my office at 814-472-7500 Ext 117
