Does your school send out a weekly newsletter? That’s the perfect spot to get your program in front of parents! Work with your school’s communication team to add a blurb to each newsletter. We’ve put together 5 newsletters to use before the first day and throughout the start of school season.
Pro Tip: Customize the blurbs to meet your needs! Add your programs lunch menu, contact information or logo to make it your own. Or, add the MySchoolBucks logo so parents recognize how to pay online.

The new school year is here! Please take this time to check your student’s meal account balance online through MySchoolBucks.com. If their balance is getting low, you can securely fund their account using your credit/debit card or an e-check. You also have the option to set up AutoPay, which will automatically fund their account when the balance drops below an amount you specify.
