With current national attention being focused on children’s health and wellness issues, Lamar County School District’s Child Nutrition Department is excited to continue to be among one of the first school districts in the State to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment services 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. 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 90 days.

 

 

In the near future, we will also have the ability to offer an interactive menu planning that allows parents and child to view upcoming school meal menu choices, make menu selections and view nutritional facts about their choices. Parents and children will also have the opportunity to access a number of nutrition education sites so that you can learn together about smart meal selections and choices, exercise and overall health and wellness

We are very excited to offer these new services, in direct alignment with the Districts’ Strategic Wellness Plan, and are confident this new system will benefit you, your child and our District. 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 payable to your child’s school Cafeteria (ie Purvis Cafeteria, Sumrall Cafeteria, etc) 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 (601) 794-8994.

 

Best Regards,
