Payment Options & MySchoolBucks
Payment Options
Payments by Cash or Check
(no convenience fee charged) accepted anytime in all Aledo ISD cafeterias. When sending money with your student, please include student’s name and ID# with payment.
Payments by Credit Card
(convenience fee charged by MySchoolBucks). Credit card payments can be made to your student's cafeteria account online for a convenience fee through MySchoolBucks at aledoisd.org or Aledo ISD mobile app.

MySchoolBucks will also allow parents to view student cafeteria account balances and purchases at no charge as well as set up free, automatic, low balance email notifications and auto pay.
Please allow 3 days for your online payment to post to your student’s account (and 10 days if e-check). For further details, please go to Aledo ISD Cafeteria Services.
We encourage all parents/students to prepay money into their account to help lunch lines move faster and to avoid lost/forgotten lunch money.

- You can use this account to view your child's purchases in the cafeteria, as well as make payments to your child's lunch account.
- You can also set notifications to be emailed when your child's account drops below a certain amount.
- NOTE: This system may take up to one day or more for a payment to post to your child's account. There is also a convenience fee of $3.50 per transaction.
