If a new application is not completed the student’s status will be changed to full price status during the month of October.

Outstanding Balances
The Board of Education recognizes a student may forget to bring breakfast and/or a lunch meal or not have money to purchase a meal at school on a school day. In this circumstance, the food service program will provide the student with a meal, not snacks. Our district follows USDA and state regulations and will not deny a student a meal. However, the student's account will be charged accordingly and parents/guardians are responsible for the amount owed. Balances are rolled over year to year.
Payments can be made:
Online: www.myschoolbucks.com
Check/Money Order: Payable to Montclair Public Schools Food Service and mailed to Montclair Board of Education, 22 Valley Rd., Montclair, NJ 07042
Cash: At the school cafeteria or at the Food Service Office at the Montclair Board of Education, 22 Valley Rd., Montclair, NJ 07042
