Lunch Account Information

Our lunch program is coordinated through Chartwells School Dining Services.

The following document is a letter from Chartwells explaining our dining system. Here is the introduction to that letter.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Community High School District 128 has implemented a computerized debit system that replaces traditional cash registers in the cafeteria lunch lines.  Please note that this system is very confidential.  All students will be required to enter their student identification numbers regardless of meal status or payment method, thus insuring your child’s privacy.

Each student will have an established debit account, although you will not be required to make advanced payments because the system still has the ability to act as a cash register and can accept cash payments on a daily basis.  However, for your convenience, you may wish to choose one of the following options for making advanced payments.  To prevent fraudulent use of student accounts a digital image of each student will appear on the monitor for the cashier to view every time a child accesses his or her account insuring that no other student can use the account.

Money will only be deducted from an account when the student uses the account to purchase meals and/or a la carte items.  There is no limit on the amount of money that can be deposited into a debit account. 

You can read the entire letter which includes explanations of the advanced payment options.

You can visit https://www.myschoolbucks.com to make payments online and find more information as well. In our continuing effort to provide the highest level of service, we will be transitioning your school's online payment system from Café PrePay to mySchoolBucks.com.  This will be completed by 05/17/2013. Please read below for setup and details.
