S-EBT Information 

Summer EBT is a new program that provides grocery benefits each summer to families with school-aged children. Children and families can participate in both Summer EBT and summer meals, as well as other benefit programs like SNAP (formerly known as food stamps). If you're eligible, you can get $120 for each of your children for the summer.  Benefits are provided on an electronic card that you can use to shop at grocery stores, farmers' markets, and online. For details about S-EBT and summer meals visit, https://www.fns.usda.gov/summer/sunbucks
Additional information about S-EBT, summer meals, and SNAP can be found at   https://www.tn.gov/humanservices/summer-ebt.html.

How the program works:

When enrolled, each student is given an account with a Personal Identification Number or Pin number.
This number will remain the same throughout their time at Moore County Schools. To access their
account, the students will be asked by the cashier to type in their PIN number. They will do this on a keypad located
on the cashier stand.

Depositing Monies into an Account

You can do this a few different ways. You can send in check or cash with your child, though we prefer
checks. All checks and cash should be inside of a sealed envelope with child and teacher name on the
outside of the envelope for elementary students. You can also stop by and visit the cafeteria to make a
deposit or you can make a deposit via our online system at www.myschoolbucks.com. This online
service offers you the convenience and information you need to manage your child’s account. This
system will eliminate the need to send payments to school or worry about lost or forgotten lunch
money.
 
We encourage all parents to monitor their child’s account on a weekly basis.
 
At no cost: MySchoolBucks allows any family to:
 
  • Create a free, secured account to manage all of your child’s account
  • Check your student’s current account balance
  • Monitor the items your child has been purchasing in the cafeteria
  • Create settings to receive email notifications when the account reaches a low balance
 
For a small fee, MySchoolBucks  allows any family to:
 
  • Make a prepayment into your child’s account using a check, credit card, or debit card.
 
 
Elementary Meal Prices   Middle/High Meal Prices
