Back to school can be a stressful and busy time... but we’re here to help! Make sure you're ready to manage your school payments this upcoming school year with this easy to follow checklist:

 **Order and distribute MySchoolBucks marketing materials**

By using our free back to school marketing materials you can increase participation in your programs and provide parents with the information they need. We offer free resources to distribute to parents at events, in your offices, in the cafeteria, etc.  Here are some of the materials available to you:

- - [Social media kit](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/mc-msb-store#social) - photos and content to post on your social media platforms
    - [Website resources](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/mc-msb-store#website) - banners, buttons and announcements for your district site
    - [Flyers](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/mc-msb-store#flyer) and table-top displays
    - [Logos and QR codes](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/mc-msb-store#logos) for signage, posters, etc.
    - [Phone messaging](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/mc-msb-store#messaging) - mobile notifications and automated phone calls

-  

 **Rollover your student data**

Work with your district office to make sure that all of your student enrollment data is up-to-date for current and new students.

- - If you have a Heartland point of sale, [schedule your premium end-of-year or start-of-year rollover](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/eoy)

 **Update your admin staff in MySchoolBucks**

Make sure your current and new employees have the appropriate administrative access they need. 

- - Here's how to edit your user privileges:

                      2. Visit the admin dashboard and select users

                      3. Search for users through the filter tool and make any changes   
 

 **Provide training to new or existing staff**

Make sure your staff is ready to manage payments through MySchoolBucks and can access the tools and reports they need. 

- - Check out the the online [School Store Learning Center](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/msb-learning-center?__hstc=&__hssc=&hsCtaTracking=20a1d003-13dc-464e-b9c7-f38c7d39b435%7C72b8f17f-9700-4359-b5df-4663b73c0469) for free how to training videos

          - Easily generate a [**pay express button**](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/msb-learning-center?show=payx) which can be added to your website or in an email to direct visitors to a product or fee in MySchoolBucks 
          - Help avoid unpaid meal charges by sending [**negative meal balance notification emails**](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/msb-neg-bal) to parents

 

 **Update or add new MySchoolBucks Store products**

Make sure all of your existing inventory is accurate and [add any additional products](https://info.heartlandschoolsolutions.com/msb-learning-center?show=buildproduct) for the new school year. Typical start of school fees include:

- - Student registration
    - Textbooks
