The Child Nutrition Department utilizes a computerized point of sale system to track student meals and account balances. All students are issued an Identification Badge which is linked to their individual accounts. Students are required to present their Badge when they check out at the end of the meal line. Money can be deposited into a student’s individual account either by sending cash or a check with the student to school or with a debit or credit card via the My School Bucks website. When a check is sent please indicated the student’s name(s) and dollar amount to be deposited, in the memo section on the check. The Harrisburg School District strives to provide an efficient, low cost, food service program to its students and appreciates your contribution by maintaining a positive balance in your students’ accounts.
Please refer to the Student Handbook for the specific charging policy for your building. They can be found under each building’s tab on this website.
