The option to pay for lunch each day with cash is still in place. PIN pads are located at every register and provide both ease of use and speed for transactions. Students may use any register. If a PIN is forgotten, the cashier can look it up and complete the transaction.

Q. Who can see purchases made by my student?
A. Purchases can been seen only by the person who set up the online account and by the food service office.

Q. What are the benefits to making payments online?

Q. Can I prepay even if I don’t use the online system?
A. Yes. You can send in prepayment monies at any time. We recommend parents send in checks rather than cash. All monies should be submitted only to the school office or cafeteria personnel (not to the classroom teacher), and checks are to be made payable to Belmont Public Schools. When sending a prepayment, please include the student’s name on the face of the check. If you send in cash, please indicate the student’s name on the face of the envelope.
