Student account PIN Numbers 

Student account PIN numbers are used at the cash register to enter their meal purchase and or ala carte purchase.  Every child receives their PIN upon enrollment in the school district.  Below is more information on how to help your child learn how to enter their PIN number on the special keypad at their school cafeteria.  Kindergarten students will not use the keypad at the register.  First and second grade will begin with ID cards and begin learning to use their PIN numbers during the new school year.

New Student PIN Number:

Each student has been assigned their unique ID number, called a PIN number.  This number allows your child to access their School Lunch Account to receive a school meal or to purchase an ala carte milk, bottled water or any snack item. We are sending out a letter that will supply you with the number so that your son/daughter can practice entering his/her number over the summer on the keypad pictured below.  The number sequence starts at the bottom of the keypad which is different from cell phones and IPad keyboards your child may be used to using.  This keypad will be used on all school cafeteria lines this school year. 

A great way for your child to remember their PIN number is to sing the numbers to the tune of their favorite song. Music helps kids remember numbers faster.  Have them sing their favorite tune while punching in the numbers on the keypad photo below.  This will help them locate the keys on the keypad and practice makes the entry faster as your child builds confidence in this task. Please scroll down to the next page for the keypad photo.
