September 2009

Recharge your child's breakfast and lunch accounts electronically with a credit card

The new program also allows parents to track their child's purchases

With national attention being focused on children's health and wellness issues, Scotia-Glenville
School District's Food Service Department is excited to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure
online prepayment service to deposit money into your child's school meal account at any time.

This service also provides parents the ability to view your child's account balance through a web site called
MyNutrikids.com. By having money in each child's account prior to entering the cafeteria, we find the
lunch lines move along much faster so your child has more time to eat and be with friends.

Also, parents will have the ability to print out a copy of their child's eating history report. This history report
will show you all dates and times that your child has purchased a breakfast and or lunch within the past
thirty days.

These new services will be available upon receipt of a letter from the school district that includes your child's student ID number.

To access these services:
1. Simply go to the district web site at ScotiaGlenvilleSchools.org

2. Click on the MyNutrikids.com link. From this site you will create your account and add money to
your child's school meal account.

All you need is:

• Your child's name
• Your child's student ID number
• The school ZIP code - for all Scotia-Glenville schools, the ZIP code is 12302.
• Method of payment - credit card or PayPal account

The instructions listed below will guide you through the easy online account set up process.


Things to know about setting up the MyNutrikids account:

• If you have more than one child in the school district, you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account.
• Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or 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. The convenience fee is $1.75 per deposit transaction.

Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $1.75 fee once per
deposit transaction. Scotia-Glenville School District will not profit from the use of this site.

To offset the cost of this convenience fee, the district Food Service Department will provide one
FREE meal for your son or daughter for every $20 you put on their account, providing that the
account does not reflect a negative balance.

For example, a purchase of $20 dollars will be charged a convenience fee of $1.75, but in return you will receive one free meal valued at $1.80 for Middle and High School students, and $1.60 for Elementary students.

We are very excited to offer these new services, in direct alignment with the district's Strategic Plan/Safe
and Healthy Environments priority, and are confident this new system will benefit you, your child and our
district.

You can still send money into school with your child

If you choose not to take advantage of the online prepayment service, you may continue to make advance payments via check, which should be made payable to the "Scotia-Glenville School District."
Please write your child's full name on the check. Advance payments in cash form may also be made at the register.

If you have any questions about these new services, please feel free to contact your schools Main Office
and ask for the Principal's Secretary.
