After that, any family who has not submitted a new application will have meal benefits terminated. 

                                                                                                       

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                 

 

The MySchoolBucks program will have an increase to the convenience fee that parents pay from $1.95 per payment to $2.49 per payment. This fee increase is the result of an increase in card scheme fees and will be effective as of December 11, 2017.

 

Heartland School Solutions will notify all MySchoolBucks account holders of this change via email. If you have any questions please contact Heartland at (855) 832-5226 or at [email protected].
