Replacement Scan Cards
All students were given a scan card to ring up their meals at the start of school year, along with a lanyard. They simply bring their card with them to lunch every day and swipe when checking out. No more touching keypads and remembering lunch ID’s. This helps to keep our students safe.
Starting Sept. 28th, a $5.00 replacement fee will be charged to a student’s account for any lost cards. Please remind your student to keep their card in a secure place and bring it with them to lunch daily.
Students can also use the barcode on their phone by having the StudentVue app.
