Welcome!
Food is a big part of everyone’s well-being and Hudson School District students need a place to eat where they can connect with others, recharge, and enjoy a sense of happiness in their school. That’s why we serve food kids love to eat and create programs that encourage fun and discovery.
Our Food and Nutrition Services team is passionate about using fresh, nutritious, minimally processed and locally sourced ingredients, and we foster a sense of adventure in students through experiential learning activities — all with healthier students, healthier communities, and a healthier planet in mind.
Our goal every day is to make sure that Hudson School District students leave the cafeteria happier and healthier than when they came in!

How do I deposit money into my child’s account?
Hudson School District’s meal program is a prepayment program. Parents deposit money into a personal meal account for their child(ren) and are expected to maintain a positive lunch account balance at all times. The cost of the meal and/or a la carte items are automatically deducted from the lunch account balance.
There are two ways to put money in your child’s meal account:
Online: Online payments can be made with a credit card, debit card, or electronic check through MySchoolBucks at www.myschoolbucks.com. Instructions can be found on the Nutrition Services Department webpage. MySchoolBucks allows parents/guardians to monitor meal balances, view purchase history, make payments, and set up low balance alerts.
Check or Cash: Each student has his/her own account. Families with more than one child in school may prepay with one check by noting on the deposit form how much should be deposited in each student’s account (Deposit forms can be found on our Nutrition Services Department webpage) . Payments can be dropped off at any school. Deposit boxes are located outside of each school office. Payments can also be mailed to: Nutrition Services, 1501 Vine Street, Hudson, WI 54016. Student accounts will be assessed a fee for all checks returned for insufficient funds.
Note: To ensure deposit accuracy, please complete a deposit request form listing all student names, school, PIN#, and the amount deposited to each student.
To eliminate the need for students to carry cash and to expedite serving lines, no cash will be accepted in the cafeteria serving line.
Will I be notified if my child’s account balance is negative?

Am I able to stop my child from charging A la Carte food items?
A variety of a la carte items are available to middle and high school students. The only extra item available for purchase for elementary students is milk.
Parents/guardians have the ability to request a note be added to the account that a la carte or extra items should not be purchased. Nutrition Services will notify middle and high students via email to inform them not to select any extra items. Cashiers will also notify students when the restriction is in place and communicate which items need to be returned, at which time the student will be responsible for removing and returning the items. Any items that cannot be restocked will be charged to the account. Nutrition Services staff will not remove food from any student’s tray. If the student declines to return the items, the cashier will charge the account.
We request that parents/guardians inform their child(ren) of the limits prior to submitting the completed form. Limits can be removed or changed by submitting a new form. Please allow two – four business days for processing of requests.
