==The Lunch
Line==
DID YOU KNOW…. Amboy Central School utilizes the Lunchbox Point of Sale (POS) program that enables your students to purchase their lunches electronically each day? Lunchbox POS is a debit system similar to a retail establishment that enables students to purchase lunch electronically. The cost of food is deducted from student accounts. When the student goes through the lunch line, the cashier accesses the student's account through a PIN and their lunch purchases are deducted from their account. Students who receive free or reduced price meals use this system, also, but will never be identified as receiving free or reduced meals to any other student. The Lunchbox program is not like a credit card where you make purchases and then pay for them later. Payments for your child's lunches must be sent to the school weekly or monthly. Your child's teacher collects lunch money on Monday mornings. The teachers then turn the lunch money into the office. Lunch money may also be taken directly to the office on the other days of the week. Deposits need to be made first thing in the morning. Monies received after 10 a.m. may not be posted on the accounts until the next day. Parents having more than one child in the building may send one check to deposit for lunch purchases, but must note clearly how the money is to be divided between children. A student may charge a full meal if their account does not have enough funds, but charges must be taken care of as soon as possible. A student may only charge a meal three times. Letters are sent home daily from the office with students who have a negative balance in their account. If you receive such a letter, please respond with a deposit promptly. Parents may request a printout of their child's account from the school office. Hopefully, this helps everyone understand our Lunchbox program. We are asking parents to please help us by making sure your student's account has money in it for them to purchase lunch each day. Please feel free to call the Central School office with any questions. |
