FNS vending machines accept major credit cards and debit cards.<\/p>\n

Account Vending<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Students may use their meal accounts at vending machines to obtain items. Add funds to your student\u2019s meal account by credit\/debit card, or e-checks through <\/a>
MySchoolBucks.com.<\/a> Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted at the point of service stations within the school cafeterias.<\/p>\n

For account vending, a student will enter their six-digit ID number along with a four digit PIN on the keypad at the vending machine. The PIN is available from a cafeteria staff member, or through the My Student portal, within the Parent Information section of Student Info. As a security measure, the PIN is viewable online only by parents or guardians not through student access.<\/p>\n

Vending purchases are considered a la carte, and count toward any spending limits imposed on a student\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

Purchases made with student meal account funds are reflected on the meal account activity accessible\u00a0through\u00a0MySchoolBucks.com<\/a>, and include the word \u201cvending\u201d within the item description.<\/p>\n

Students are advised not to share their PIN, and Food and Nutrition Services will not reimburse unauthorized vending purchases.<\/p>\n

Staff members may also use account vending with their six-digit employee ID number and PIN, which is available from a cafeteria staff member, or by utilizing the contact info below.<\/p>\n

The display screens on the vending machines prompt customers with directions for account vending.<\/p>\n

Students and staff may use their accounts at most vending machines located throughout Pasco County Schools, not only at their own schools.<\/p>\n

To request a new PIN or to disable the PIN to disallow account vending, send an email to fns_finance@pasco.k12.fl.us<\/a>\u00a0or call (813) 794-2437.<\/p>\n
