Onondaga CSD parents now have three ways to pay for their child(ren)’s lunch and a la carte items:

• Prepay online using a credit or debit card
• Prepay by cash or check made out to “West Genesee Food Service.” Money should be placed in an envelope labeled with your child’s name and “lunch money” written on it.
• Pay for lunch and/or a la carte items with cash or check at the time of purchase.

The Myschoolbucks system gives each student a debit “account” that allows the student to purchase lunch and a la carte items from their cafeteria. Money will be deducted accordingly from their account.

If you have more than one child in the district you can handle all online pre-payments from the same online account.

Payments may be made with a major credit or debit card (VISA, MasterCard and Discover) or eCheck at any time. Money deposited into a mySchoolBucks account will usually arrive by the next morning. Deposit confirmations will be sent directly to parent e-mail accounts.

In order to use the online prepayment service, a convenience fee for each transaction will be assessed to cover the bank fees. The convenience fee is $2.75 per deposit transaction. Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $2.75 fee once per deposit transaction. The Onondaga Central School District and West Genesee Central School District does not receive this convenience fee, and will not profit from the use of this site.
