“ATTENTION PARENTS”

ALL PONDER ISD CAFETERIAS WILL HAVE A NEW POINT OF SALE (CASH COLLECTION) SYSTEM AS OF APRIL 5, 2023

Ponder ISD is implementing a new Point of Sale system labeled My School Bucks for the Child Nutrition Department. The new system will offer enhanced reporting and services for Ponder ISD and lower the stakeholder’s transaction fee to $2.75 beginning Wednesday, April 5, 2023. Directions on how to set up your student’s account and additional pertinent information will be provided at a later date.

Do not make payments online in the EZ School Pay after Thursday, March 30, 2023 as the EZ School Pay system will be deactivated Friday, March 31, 2023. All existing students and employee account balances which are in EZ School Pay as of April 1st will be moved to My School Bucks.

Please Note:

  • Funds remaining in your student’s meal account at the end of the school year are

    carried over to the next school year.

  • Should your student’s meal account run out of funds, Ponder ISD allows a

    negative balance up to 5 meals, or a maximum of $-25.00.

  • The eligibility status of students who qualify for free or reduced meal prices is

    noted in the system and will continue without disruption.

    If you have any questions, please contact our Child Nutrition Department and we will be glad to assist you.

    Sincerely,
