The Crusader Cafe utilizes a cashless payment system for all students and staff. MySchoolBucks.com will be used exclusively as the payment method as cash is not accepted.
All elementary students will have an ID to present at the Cafe to purchase items. All students (including elementary) will have a barcode on their ID which will be scanned to allow servers access to your student's account to purchase their snacks/lunches. MySchoolBucks gives parents the convenience and flexibility of one account to securely pay for all their student's meals with a credit card, debit card or electronic check. MySchoolBucks accepts Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express.
Below, we hope to answer questions you might have about signing your student(s) up for MySchoolBucks account. There are a few options available to load money onto your student's account :
Pay As You Go: You may choose to load your child's account with any dollar amount up to $150.00 per student. There is a $3.50 fee each time you load your students account, however that fee is per transaction only - not per student. For example, you have three children, you may load all three accounts at one time for only $3.50 total. The pay as you go option accepts credit or debit card and echeck.
Pay by Year Per Student: You may choose to pay a yearly membership fee of $12.95 per student which enables you to add funds up to $150.00 at any time. This would be ideal for households with one or two students. Available by e-check only.
Pay by Year Per Family: You may choose to pay a yearly membership fee of $26.95 for your "family" which enables you to add funds up to $150.00 at any time. This plan is ideal for families of three or more students. Available by e-check only.
To take advantage of the yearly membership plan when setting up your students account, "click" your name at the upper right corner on your screen, then "my user profile", then "update membership". You may also choose AutoPay when you are setting up your account by selecting "setup AutoPay" from the meal payment options page. During the setup process, you may set up payments to occur when the account balance falls below your specified amount or on a set schedule. For example, when the account balance reaches an amount of your choice or on a given schedule, such as, on the first of every month, $X amount is deposited into your student's account. After you have chosen your payment type and entered your settings, click "complete setup" to enable the settings. This convenient option lets you set it up once and lets MySchoolBucks handle the rest.
