Making a Deposit:
Depositing money to your child's account changes for school
year 2011 - 2012.
How can I limit how my child spends
money?
Changes for this school
year:
Prepayments to your child’s account can only be made into
account cash. Account cash may be used to purchase meals or
a la carte items including separate containers of milk, ice
cream or snacks. If you would like to limit your child to
meals only, please check the box on the deposit slip (click
here).
The Milford Schools
participate in the National School Lunch Program where
families who qualify can receive free meals or reduced price
meals (for lunch $.40, breakfast $.30 per day). Family
Applications will be distributed on the first day of school to
every child in the Milford Schools.
The application is
available here. Only one application per family is
required. Note that parents need to fill
out a new application every year.
The
Milford Schools use a computerized Point-of-Sale Program where
all students have an account ready to be used for the purchase
of lunches and snacks. Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade
are given bar coded cards with neck straps to access their
accounts at the serving line. All other grades are issued
Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) that each child
memorizes and enters at the serving line. Using PIN numbers
has worked out very well since the students don’t need to
bring lunch cards to the cafeteria. The serving lines move
much faster with the computerized point-of-sale allowing
students more time to eat!!
Three Ways to Pay for school
lunches using the computerized system. Prepay at school,
prepay using a credit card at
http://mylunchmoney.com/,
or pay cash. Also, families who qualify may apply for free or
reduced priced meals.
Pre-payments are welcome for all students beginning the first
day of school. All children may deposit money on their
accounts for lunches or a la carte items such as milk, ice
cream and other snacks. Use the deposit slip on the menu and send a check made out to Milford Food Services. All
prepayments are sent to the school kitchen for processing.
Deposits are available for lunch the same day.
Parents can pay for school lunches using a credit card and
check student account balances through the website
myLunchMoney.com. To
get started, all you need is your child’s name, grade and full
student id number (not pin number), and birth date. Visit
http://mylunchmoney.com/
for more information.
Please note - change in policy for this year: a fee of
$1.95 will be charged for each credit card transaction.
Cash
is accepted on a daily basis.
Our
lunch credit policy for students who do not have cash or money
on their account is to allow 2 lunches to be purchased on
credit. When that 2-lunch credit limit has been reached, the
students will receive an emergency lunch: a cheese sandwich and
milk, so that they will not go hungry. Our policy does not
permit charging a la carte items on the account including snacks
or ice cream.
Parent Suggestion:
Parents can keep track of how many lunches have been prepaid
in order to know when to send in more lunch money.
We make every effort to communicate with parents by sending
negative balance letters on a daily basis and low balance
letters once per week.
Parents can
find out their child’s lunch account balance every day if their
child's account is prepaid using
myLunchMoney.com.
Once an account is set up for each child at
myLunchMoney.com, the
lunch account balances are updated every morning.
Parents may also contact the kitchen manager to get their
child’s lunch account balance. The best time to call is in the
morning between 9:30am and 11:00am or between 1:00pm and 1:30pm.
In addition, the kitchen manager can print a report that will
detail what the child has purchased over a period of time.
These
are the ways we communicate with parents to reduce the
number of students who do not have lunch money on their account.
Embarrassing situations are best avoided when the child’s
account maintains a positive balance.
