Food Service Payment Information

We are excited to offer SchoolCafe as of July 1, 2026. SchoolCafe is replacing MySchoolBucks and is a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your student’s school lunch account.

All student lunch balances were transferred from MySchoolBucks to SchoolCafe.

SchoolCafe offers 24/7 convenient access to prepayment service, account balances, recent purchase history information and automatic low balance email notifications.

Every family will need to register and add their student(s) to SchoolCafe.

Things to know about online prepayments:

 

➢ If you have more than one child in the district you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account.

 

➢ Payments will be instantly approved and show in your child’s account within 10 minutes!

 

➢ Payments may be made with a major credit or debit card.

 

➢ In order to use the online prepayment service, a small convenience fee for each transaction will be assessed to cover the bank fees. Northern Tioga School District will not profit from the use of this site.

 

We are very excited to offer this service. However, if you prefer to add money with a check at the café register, you may do so. Checks should be made payable to the NTSD Cafeteria Fund. Please write your child’s full name on the check. If you choose to continue to send checks in, we still encourage you to register with Schoolcafe to monitor your child’s account balance and transaction history.
