Point of Sale Software
-
The Child Nutrition Program operates under a Point of Sale (POS) system, which means each student must type in their student ID# (or PIN) in order to purchase any item. Under POS, each student has an account and the correct amount is removed from the account when the child purchases an a la carte item. Parents are encouraged to send money to be placed on the student accounts. Please place the child's name or PIN number in the memo portion on checks. All money left on the account at the end of the school year stays with the student and will transfer to the next grade. Refunds are only granted if a student withdraws from the school district or if there is a balance at the end of the school year and a refund is requested.
