Food Services

Parents are encouraged to make payments at least one week in advance of intended purchases. Parents are strongly encouraged to utilize e-funds for schools in order to manage their children's accounts.

Board Policy 808.1 Lunch Accounts informs parents of the details of what will occur if their child's account becomes delinquent.

Students will be asked to enter their pin numbers (student ID numbers) on the keypad at the register to access their food service accounts to pay for their meals and ala carte sale purchases and/or accept their free meal benefits.

Household PIN number letters are mailed in August to provide numbers and details of the keypad for elementary students. All students are required to use the keypad to access their student accounts for free meals, cash meal purchases, milk purchases, ala carte purchases, elementary treat day purchases, and to make pre-payments on their accounts. Every student in the district will be required to key his or her pin number on the keypad at the register station for meal service regardless of his or her meal status eligibility, (free, reduced price, or paid).
