Second meals will be charged at the adult prices for breakfast and lunch.  See the School Meal Prices table for meal prices by grade level and eligibility categories (Free, Reduced and Paid).  

We encourage parents to register through My School Bucks payment portal for convenient online payments.

Meal Payment Options

• Cash and checks are accepted at the School Cafeteria's point of sale without any fees.  You can access student account balances on the My School Bucks website. Deposits can be made by parents in the morning at the cafeteria or by students into their meal account during breakfast or lunch meal service. The deposits into the student's meal account will be applied to any meal debt, and the remaining funds will be available for lunch meals, extra meals or a la carte items.       

    Make checks payable to The School Board of Broward County.

Please ensure you verify your student's school security policy before entering the campus. Parents can place the funds in an envelope marked with the student's name, ID number, and "School Lunch Money."

•   My School Bucks is an easy-to-use website where parents and guardians can pay for student lunches, extra meals or à la carte items online.   

There is a minimal $2.49 fee for each credit card, debit card or electronic check payment.
