School Meal Payment Update
Dear families:
Our School Nutrition Department is excited to announce some new changes that will be in effect for the new school year. We will be upgrading our systems and changing our electronic payment processing vendor. We hope this will provide a better experience for both our students and families. All of your student's information and current balance will be automatically transferred over to the new system.
Beginning July 1, 2025, we will be switching our payment processing vendor to eFunds for Schools (EFS). This is the same platform that is used for paying fees for your student's accounts each year. This switch will offer a number of benefits, such as:
- Significantly lower fees per payment;
- A much higher payment limit per transaction;
- Depositing lunch funds at the same time as paying for other student fees;
- Paying as a guest rather than needing to set up an account.
Our current payment vendor, MySchoolBucks, will no longer be active or accepting payments after June 30, 2025. If you have auto payment set up through MySchoolBucks, you will need to disable it before this date. An Autopay feature is available through EFS, and can be set to occur on either a set schedule or when a balance reaches a certain threshold.
In addition to these benefits, you will now be able to see your student's account balance and purchase history from your Skyward Family Access page. All information will be available under the "Food Service" tab on the left. From here, you can also apply for free or reduced meal benefits, or make a payment into the account.
You may access the EFS payment portal HERE, through your Skyward family access, or download the SDNR Tigers app on the app store. You will need your student's 7 digit District ID number, or your Family ID number to add funds. This information will be sent to you separately in another email in the coming weeks.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Email Nikke at nhafemeyer@newrichmond.k12.wi.us with questions.
