PIN Numbers

All returning BCPS students will use the same PIN number as the prior year, even if they changed schools within the county. FNS will send all families a letter that includes their PIN numbers, to their email address on file. A letter will be mailed via USPS to families without an email address. PIN numbers can also be accessed through the Parent Portal. Detailed instructions on how to find a student’s PIN number are available on the bcps.org website.

Snacks and Payments (Secondary Schools)

Smart Snack approved beverages and snacks are available for purchase in new vending machines located in the cafeterias. Cash, credit, Google Wallet, and Apple Pay are accepted on the machines. Smart Snack approved items will also be on the serving line; however, cash will not be accepted in secondary schools; students may use their MySchoolBucks accounts.

While meals are free to all students, MySchoolBucks.com can be used for additional meal items and snacks. Families can fund student accounts electronically, monitor meals, set limits, and more! Both staff and students can submit a Refund Request Form at any time, to clear their MSB account or transfer funds to a different student account.
