Paying for lunch
Students will use their school IDs to pay for lunch, and families will be able to load and refresh accounts through the MySchoolBucks software. MySchoolBucks allows families to add funds by logging into PowerSchool or by downloading the MySchoolBucks app. Families will be able to monitor student purchases, check balances, and receive low-balance alerts.

Parents can refresh balances and set up auto-refresh by using a credit card on the website or the app.
MySchoolBucks can be linked to a PowerSchool account. Once you link the accounts, the PowerSchool homescreen will now include a MySchoolBucks button.

You may also make a payment on your child’s account by writing a check made out to “Community Consolidated School District 89” and sending it to school with your child. If you choose to pay by check, please be sure to write your child’s name, grade, and amount on the envelope. Credit cards cannot be accepted at the schools for payment on your child’s account.
