My School Bucks
With current national attention being focused on children's health and wellness issues, The Newburgh Enlarged City 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.

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.

Meal Modifications and Dietary Medical Accommodations
For our Goldback scholars with severe allergies, an action plan and menu may be required to accommodate dietary needs. Allergies or special dietary needs must be documented by a physician and communicated by the parent or guardian to the school nurse. Please note: a written physician's prescription is required in order to obtain a substitution.

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. If additional instruction or clarification is needed, please contact Newburgh School Food Services at 845-563-3424, the Director of Exceptional Learners at 845-563-8520, or contact Health Services at 845-563-3497.
