Students require nutritious meals to learn and become productive adults. The Child Nutrition Department offers quality, nutritious meals and à la carte food items daily.

Parents are responsible for any charges incurred by their children in the cafeteria. This includes the time frame when applications are being processed for meal benefits.

Meal Service Information

All students shall enter their Personalized Pin Number (district assigned number) in order to purchase meals or a la carte food items.

The Point of Sale computer system assigns every student and employee an individual and secure account which is accessed by a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is their district-issued Student ID number or Adult PeopleSoft ID with a 9 prefix.

Money can be placed on the account and, as meals or a la carte items are purchased using the PIN, the system will debit the account. No cash transactions will be necessary as long as there is money in the account. Because the PIN is required for all student food transactions, these are recorded to the student’s account, even when cash is used for the purchase.

We encourage parents or guardians to place money in their child’s account to eliminate the need to carry cash each day. We also encourage the convenient use of the online meal payment option.

Please remember this account is like a bank account and friends should not have access to the student’s PIN. Please discuss with your child that his/her PIN number is confidential. Any misuse of another student’s account will be considered theft.
