Access mySchoolBucks
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.
- Payments are generally processed by PayPal within 24 hours. However, if the payment option selected is an eCheck, processing can take anywhere from 4 to 7 business days. If you opt to pay via eCheck, please allow a minimum lead time of one week before the funds are made available in your child's account.
- In order to use the online prepayment service, a small convenience fee for each transaction will be assessed to cover the bank fees. The convenience fee is $2.49 per deposit transaction. Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $2.49 fee once per deposit transaction. The Newburgh Enlarged City School District will not profit from the use of this site.
- We are very excited to offer these services, 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 made payable to The Newburgh Enlarged City School District Food Service Program. Please write your child's full name on the check.
The request will be supported through a Medical Accommodations Request or Individualized Education Program (IEP). Parent/guardian should provide all necessary documentation to the school nurse for the accommodation.
For a 504 Accommodation, please include the 504 Coordinator, Principal, School Nurse, and School Food Service Director in your communications. A coordinated meeting will be scheduled to discuss the action plan and parameters of the dietary accommodation request.

Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Students
Breakfast and Lunch is available free of charge for all students in the district.
Since 2017, students in the Newburgh Enlarged City School District have had access to free nutritious meals in school. The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provides an opportunity for districts in high poverty areas to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students without the encumbrance of collecting and processing school meal applications for free and reduced price meals. In addition, Community Eligibility allows families to reallocate the money previously used for the lunch program back into supporting their household.
