NEW! My School Account

Dear Parents:

We are very pleased to announce that we are bringing our food service operations into the 21st century! As you are probably aware we implemented phase one of the new FSS accounting system in July. The FSS system is a computerized system that records your child's lunch purchases on a real time basis. Whenever a student makes a purchase their profile appears on a screen with the student's picture which eliminates the possibility of erroneous charges. The system provides the information for all lunches charged by your child directly to our business office. Currently, your monthly lunch bills are then prepared and mailed to you at the end of each month.
