You can access MySchoolBucks to view and/or set up an account for your student(s) here.

To set up an account, you will need your child(ren)'s student identification number(s), which can be found in the Parent Portal.

The application for free and reduced meal pricing for the 2024-25 school year is open. You can access the online application for Free & Reduced Meals by clicking here.

The Patriot Players of Central Bucks East are thrilled to invite the entire CB Community to the spring Production of Anastasia: The Musical.

The Anastasia... her past is a mystery. Her future is an adventure. This dazzling musical, based on the beloved animated movie from 20th Century Fox, transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
