‼️ Important Changes to Payments for School Fees and Student Lunch Accounts ‼️
We will be using MySchoolBucks.com to collect student fees this year
While Florence City Schools students ALL receive FREE breakfast & lunch, parents may add money for "extras" to student lunch accounts through www.myschoolbucks.com.
Parents and students can also pay fees online using the “Falcon Fund Donation” option on MySchoolBucks.
Currently, the site can be reached using the following two (2) methods:
1 – Pay online at www.myschoolbucks.com
2 – Use the My School Bucks app
Very Important: When paying fees in "Falcon Fund Donation" section, you must put the student’s name and what they are paying for in the comments section. (Example: Jane Doe-Hibbett 6 Gray-Team Shirt-Small) You can use this for team shirts, PTO dues, and any miscellaneous fees.
REMINDER: If you pay for a school fee or shirt via MySchoolBucks, PLEASE ALSO EMAIL YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER TO LET HIM/HER KNOW YOU HAVE PAID.
