Online balances and prepayments now available at Williston Public Schools

 

Williston Public School District’s Food Service Department is excited to provide parents with a new website (www.mynutrikids.com) that offers:

  • A convenient, easy and secure online prepayment service to deposit money into your child’s school meal account at any time. 
  • The ability to view your child’s account balance.
  • Print out a copy of your 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. 

 

To access these services:

  1. Simply go to the district web site at http://www.williston.k12.nd.us
  2. 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, student ID number and school ZIP code.  The instructions listed on the bottom 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 only.  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.   Williston Public School District will not profit from the use of this site.  To offset the cost of this convenience fee, the District Food Service Department will provide one FREE meal for your son or daughter for every $50 you put on their account.  For example, a purchase of $50 dollars will be charged a convenience fee of $1.75, but in return you will receive one free meal valued at $1.75 for middle school and high school. and $1.50 for elementary.  Parents making multiple meal account deposits will only be charged the $1.75 fee once per deposit.

Ø       You can establish school meal balance amounts so that if your child’s account balance falls below the established amount, you will receive an emil alerting you to the low balance.  We believe this feature will provide more convenience to you by proactively notifying you of your child’s balance status.  The low balance amount is set by you for each child which will provde you with the flexibility to set a different balance amount per child.

 

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 Williston Public School District Foodservice.  Please write your child’s full name on the check. 

 

School Board Policy states that a student may not have more than a negative $5.00 balance.  Students are not allowed to charge extra entrees or alacarte items.

 

If you have any questions about these services, please feel free to contact Lynelle McKenzie, Food Service Director office at 701-572-5618 ext 220  or [email protected]
