NutriKids Online Payment System

With current national attention being focused on children’s health and wellness issues, the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District’s Food Service Department is excited to provide parents a convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time. This service also provides parents the ability to view your child’s account balance through a web site called MyNutrikids.com. By having money in each child’s account prior to entering the cafeteria, we find the lunch lines move along much faster so your child has more time to eat and be with friends.

Also, parents will have the ability to view and print a copy of their child’s eating history report. This history report will show you all dates and times that your child has purchased a breakfast or lunch within the past 30 days.

These services will be available starting November 2, 2009.

To access these services, visit MyNutrikids.com. Create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account. All you need is your child’s name, student ID number and school ZIP code.

Things to know:

• If you have more than one child in the district, you can handle all online prepayments from a single account.

• Payments may be made through an existing PayPal account or with a major credit or debit card.

• In order to use the online prepayment service, a small convenience fee for each transaction will be assessed to cover the bank fees. The convenience fee is $1.75 per deposit transaction. Parents placing money into multiple meal accounts will only be assessed the $1.75 fee once per deposit transaction. The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District will not profit from the use of this site.

We are very excited to offer these new services and are confident this new system will benefit you, your child and our district. However, if you choose not to take advantage of the online prepayment service you may continue to make advance payments via check, which should be made payable to the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk School Lunch Fund. Please write you child’s full name on the check.

If you have any questions about these new services, please feel free to contact Doug Porter, director of food services, at (518) 756-5200, ext. 2037.
