Payment Information
MySchoolBucks online parent accounts are now active and able to used. Parents are able to make payments through MySchoolBucks and students can access their accounts on the PIN pad or swipe card reader located at every register.
We encourage parents to prepay money into the student’s account, although students may still pay cash at the register. If your student has qualified for free or reduced price lunches or breakfasts, this information is securely contained within the system and the meal will be processed just as it is for all other students. There is no need to be concerned for a potentially uncomfortable situation for the student.
MySchoolBucks can be used to:
- Prepay meals and add funds to student accounts
- Receive low balance notifications
- View student transaction history
If you need your child’s ID number please contact the Food Services office.

Food Services Policies
School Breakfast Program
The Potsdam CSD Food Services department offers breakfast to all students every school day.
Many studies have shown that eating a nutritious breakfast every morning helps students achieve the classroom goals that have been set for them. These studies consistently confirm that breakfast helps kids concentrate, think, behave, and learn.
P2 Food Market
The P2 Food Market’s mission is to provide Potsdam Central School District students, their families and the greater Potsdam community with easy access to food and personal hygiene products.
In order to eliminate food waste, we allow customers to order what they want rather than us choosing for them. This way, the food they don’t want can go to other customers instead of ending up in the trash.
We hope to enrich the community by working to eliminate the stigma surrounding hunger and assistance programs.
