Student Meals

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR STUDENTS MEALS BALANCE TODAY??

My School Bucks
No student should have a negative meals balance - Keep your student’s meals account balance current by setting up on-line alerts when their account reaches $10.00 or below.  

You do not need to pay on-line to receive the alerts

It’s very easy – go to www.myschoolbucks.com to create your account.  Follow the prompts and be sure to add each student individually.  Choose to receive notifications by text message and/or email.  If the student’s birth date doesn’t work and you do not have access to ASPEN, call Patty Gardiner to get your students ID number. 

If you do choose to pay on-line, there are a couple of options – set up auto pay for a specific amount or pay on-line when you receive the alert.  The student will always have money available on their account. 

If you would rather not pay on-line, that’s fine too.  When you receive the low balance notification, send in cash or a check (payable to Hull Public Schools) with your student and they can pay the cashier in the cafeteria. It’s that easy!

If you think that your family may be eligible for free or reduced priced meals, please fill out the meals application and send it into school with your student.  A copy of the application can be printed from the Hull Public Schools website or you can pick up a copy in any school office.  You will receive a letter from the school regarding the decision within a week of submission.  If you don’t receive this letter, do not assume you are approved; contact your student’s school.  


If you have additional questions you may contact Patty Gardiner at HPS Administration, 781-925-4400  X1112.
