School Nutrition

Wakefield Public School uses MySchoolBucks.com, an online prepayment system and free monitoring of student purchases for food services. All cafeterias have computerized registers and each student has a personalized account. All students are assigned a 4-digit Student ID number which they can use to set up an account on MySchoolBucks.com and use it when they purchase items in the cafeteria. The number will stay the same for the entire time your child is in the Wakefield Public Schools as will the information on the account.

Payment Methods

To add money to your child’s school lunch account, you may make an online payment on MySchoolBucks.com, pay by check, or pay with cash. Please review, with each of your children, your own "rules" regarding the use of school lunch account money for these purchases. If you need any assistance with your child's account, or their use of it,  please do not hesitate to contact us.

Free/Reduced Price Meals

If your child has qualified for free or reduced-price meals, this information is securely contained within the computerized registers and the meal will be processed just as it is for all other students. If your child is reduced, please follow the method above to pre-pay for your child's meal.

Summer Maintenance

Please note that the system is OFF until we return in September. You will not be able to add a student or make payments until the system is turned ON after the summer maintenance. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Wakefield School’s Food & Nutrition Department would like to update you with exciting news about universal free school meals. It's official! Massachusetts has become the 8th state to make meals free indefinitely! This means that every student is eligible to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each day. All additional meals outside the first breakfast (where applicable) and lunch will be charged along with the school’s current meal rates. 

Please note that even though every student may obtain one free breakfast (where applicable) and one free lunch per day, families may still complete the Free and Reduced Meal Benefit application. We encourage families to utilize our free online portal to submit free and reduced applications - see link below. All paper applications can be sent to Wakefield High School at 60 Farm Street, Wakefield MA, 01880 - attention to the Food Services Office.
