MyNutriKids Information
|
Buhler School District’s Food Service Department is pleased to announce a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time through a web site called
MyNutrikids.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.
To access these services:
- Simply go to the district website or your child’s school website.
- Click on the Food Services link.
- Click on the MyNutrikids.com link. From this site you will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account. All you need is your child’s name, school ZIP code, and student ID number. This ID number will be available to you at enrollment. The instructions listed on the back of this page will guide you through the easy online account set up process.
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 $1.75 per deposit transaction. Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $1.75 fee once per deposit transaction. Buhler School District will not profit from the use of this site.
We are very excited to offer these new 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 your child’s school. Please write your child’s full name on the check.
Parents also will have the ability view your child’s account balance and a copy of their eating history report. These services are available at no charge and will show you all dates and times that your child has purchased a breakfast and/or lunch within the past thirty days.
If you have any questions about these new services, please feel free to contact your child’s school or my office at 1-888-662-8801 or 620-543-2258.
Sincerely,
Kay Cox
