Pay for lunches online using PayPAMS
Pay for your child's meals from the comfort of your own home using PayPAMS - an online service that let's you pre-pay for meals online. With PayPAMS you can also view and manage your child's meal account, schedule automatic payments and view a report of daily spending and cafeteria purchases. Look for more information this September, or get started today by logging on to www.PayPAMS.com.
Requesting parent permission for second entrees at elementary schools
The Food Service Department has noticed that many elementary students are purchasing second entrees in addition to their full lunch. Some examples of the second entrees being purchased are nachos supreme, chicken patty on a bun and pizza. After observing the students, much of the additional food purchased is being thrown out. Because of our concern that parents may not want to pay the additional cost, and the concern of childhood obesity, we are requiring a note from parents giving permission for their child to purchase a second entree.
