Eating a healthy breakfast and lunch is important for staying healthy and feeling good.  Eating school meals is a great way for students to get the nutrition needed to focus and learn.  

School cafeterias offer a variety of nutritious foods at a reasonable meal price.  For healthy meals each day, encourage your child to eat school breakfast and lunch.

For the 24-25 school year, we are pleased to provide free breakfast and lunch for all pre-K -12^th grade students attending Muscle Shoals City Schools.  We are able to do this through a special program through USDA called the Community Eligibility Program. 

During breakfast and lunch, students are given the opportunity to purchase additional items from the students' cafeteria meal account.  Details about the meal account, available items to purchase and how to add money to that account are listed below.

Student Meal Account

Each student is assigned a cafeteria meal account where parents may pre-pay for cafeteria purchases.  Please send checks or cash to school in an envelope with your student's name and "cafeteria or lunchroom" written on the envelope and check.  

Making online payments to your childs account-

MySchoolBucks (MSB) is our on-line cafeteria payment program where parents may deposit money in their student's meal account using their debit or charge card.  There is no fee to open a MySchoolBucks account and many parents use MSB to view their student's purchases. You may open an account to view purchases without making deposits.  Please note, there is a $2.00 charge when using MSB to deposit money into a student's meal account.  MySchoolBucks accounts may be set up for each student by going to: MySchoolBucks.com .
