Healthy meals are crucial to student success. Our Food service program offers many nutritious options for our students. The food service program operates on a nonprofit basis. The meal and Ala carte prices reflect the amount the district needs to continue to offer this program to our students. The integration of Infinite Campus Food Service with your family’s Infinite Campus Census data and the Parent Portal gives users immediate, secure access to the food service information they need. With this software program, parents/Guardians may access the following information:
- Review food service transactions, such as meal and Ala carte purchases, through the Parent Portal as it is entered on the building-level
- Provide guardians Internet access to their students’ meal selections and the costs incurred from the cafeteria in real time
- Access account balances online
- Receive email notification for low account balances
How Does It Work?
Every student has an account where all of the money for food service can be deposited. Then, as purchases are made through the district food service program, money is drawn out of the account like a debit card. The student will access their personal account at service times with their PIN NUMBER that they will type into a key pad. All children will be helped with this process as needed.
What Procedures are Followed?
- The food service program follows a pre-payment program. Parents/guardians will remit one payment for the entire family.
- Parents/guardians will allocate account dollar amounts to be dispersed among each student. When parents/guardians submit payment, indicate student name, grade, building and desired dollar amount for each individual student.
- Low Account Balances will be communicated via email. Balances at or below $5.00 will trigger the email notification.
- For families with no email access at work or at home, district secretarial staff will notify families of low account balances. It is important that if families have email access, please use the email notification feature, as individual calls to families will become quite time-consuming for our secretarial staff.
- Parents/guardians will be able to check account balances and student purchases via the Parent Portal
Other Important Information
- Food service payment envelopes are available for families at any of our school offices.
- Families that do not have Infinite Campus Portal accounts and wish to review lunch account information online should register to obtain an account. Registration materials are available from any of the school offices in our district. Complete the registration materials and submit the paperwork to any of our school offices. Upon registration approval, new registrants will receive email notification how to access the new parent portal accounts.
- To ensure prompt email notification of low account balances, contact any of the district offices to update your family’s email contact information
- Families that had remaining balances from the previous school year, please note that your remaining balances are transferred to the new year.
- Students who have an ala carte block on their account should not be allowed to purchase a second entree. The food service staff makes every effort to enforce this policy, but with the lines moving very quickly during meal service they may not have time to explain this to each student. Please discuss this with your student BEFORE they take a second entree.
