Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools offer ways to pay for both your child's meal costs and other school fees online. Please find information on those systems below.

Meal Payment

Every student in the district has a meal account. During meal service students are recognized by their personal identification number (student ID) at the cash register. The computer records the meal and deducts the appropriate amount from the student's account.

There are three acceptable forms of payment for school lunch:

Cash

Money Order

MySchoolBucks.com

Cash and/or money order may be brought daily or put on the child's account at the cafeteria.

MySchoolBucks.com, the on-line prepayment option is encouraged for your children. MySchoolBucks.com is available for parents to place money electronically on their child's account. The Benefits of MySchoolBucks.com include:
