Charging Policy
PLEASE HELP YOUR STUDENT LEARN THEIR 6 DIGIT AISD ID NUMBER (INCLUDED WITH REGISTRATION EMAIL/PAPERWORK) SO THEY CAN ENTER IT IN THE POINT OF SALE PINPAD SUCCESSFULLY, HELPING THE SERVING LINE TO MOVE FASTER AND GIVING CHILDREN MORE TIME TO EAT!
If a student has no lunch and no money and comes through the serving line, the cafeteria will provide them with a nutritious School Meal. However, if the student’s account reaches the charge limit of -$15.00, the student can be provided with an emergency Snack Meal (students should see Cafeteria Manager). The district will make every effort to avoid bringing attention to such a student. Students with a negative cafeteria balance will not be allowed to purchase snacks or extras until their balance is current. Negative balances will be communicated to parents via Parent Link email and/or letter to household address on file. Low and negative balances are communicated to students when possible but students/parents are responsible for monitoring cafeteria account balances (see Payment Options to setup automatic low balance email notifications). If your family is experiencing financial difficulties, please contact us to set up payment arrangements. We can also assist you in applying for free or reduced price meal benefits. Cafeteria account balances must be paid in full by year end.
Students must have cash or funds in their café account to be able to purchase snacks or extras. Low and negative balances are communicated to students when possible, but students/parents are responsible for monitoring cafeteria account balances (see Payment Options to setup automatic low balance email notifications).
