Food Service Payments
The food service department uses a computerized cash register system in all school cafeterias. All students are issued an individually unique pin number (3-5 digits) that remains with the student through the 5th grade; however when moving up to the middle school level the student pin number becomes the student’s school issued ID number and the student will use that number until he/she graduates.
We encourage parents to pay for student meals in advance. We accept cash or checks for the amount of the purchase only or for the prepayment of meals. Checks must be made payable to the school’s cafeteria. If a check is returned by the bank the parent or guardian will be notified via mail. Until payment of the returned check has been received all future purchases in the cafeteria must be made by cash or money order. There is $15 service charge applied at the time of repayment. Also, please note that change will not be given to any student in grades K – 12 when paying with cash, but rather, the amount due back to the student will be added to their online food account.
