Dear Parents:

With current national attention being focused on children’s health and wellness issues, Tom Bean  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 print out 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 and or lunch within the past thirty days. 

These new services are now available.

To access these services:

1. Simply go to the district web site at www.tombean-isd.org 
2. Click on the Food Services link.
3. Click on the MyNutrikids.com link.  From this site you will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account.  All you need is your child’s name,
4. student ID number and school ZIP code (75489).  The instructions listed on the back of this page will guide you through the easy online account set up process. 

Things to know:

Ø       If you have more than one child in the District you can handle all online prepayments from the same online account. 

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

Ø       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.  Tom Bean School District will not profit from the use of this site. 

We are very excited to offer these new services, in direct alignment with the District’s Strategic Plan/Safe and Healthy Environments priority, 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 Tom Bean School District.  Please write your

child’s full name on the check. 

If you have any questions about these new services, please feel free to contact my office at 903-546-6161. 

Best Regards,

Mary Goff

Food Service Manager
