My School Bucks

Do not forget about the free service at myschoolbucks.com that makes keeping track of purchases & balances easy.  The myschoolbucks.com service for depositing money on food accounts is free during the months of August, September, and the month of January. There is a modest fee for the remainder of the school year.  If you prefer to write a check for your student’s meals, please make it out to "Indiana Area School District" or "IASD” in standard blue or black ink.  No checks in gel or colored ink will be accepted by the bank and the check will be returned to the parent/guardian. 

Free & Reduced Lunch Applications
A new Free & Reduced application must be on file with the school district by October 4, 2024 or the previous year’s status will revert to paid and all charges will be the parent or guardian’s responsibility.  Apply online at www.schoolcafe.com. If you have received a NOTICE OF DIRECT CERTIFICATION for free meals, do not complete a new application.  But do let the school know if any children in your household are not listed on the notice letter that you have received.
