Meal Policy & POS Information
Graduating seniors or students transferring out of the district, please be sure to clear all negative balances by paying all amounts owed before the end of the school year.
In addition, graduates have three options regarding positive balances on their meal accounts; parents may request a balance transfer to a sibling, a refund may be requested or parents may donate the balance for the benefit of another student.
Please complete an option form and return or you may email our office directly to ejulian@avongrove.org with your request. (SPANISH FORM)
Lastly, please be sure to turn off Auto Pay on SchoolCafe.com
If you have any questions concerning your child's account, please feel free to contact the Food Service Office at 610-869-2441.
Touchless Access to Meal Account
All students have been assigned a personal identification number (PIN) and will receive an ID card which will be scanned for all purchases in the cafeteria. All students will receive an ID card with a barcoded PIN number at the start of the school year. As students proceed to the cashier, they will scan the ID card to access funds in their prepaid account.
All students or parents may prepay for meals by depositing cash or check into the meal account at breakfast or lunch service. Parents also may prepay online via SchoolCafe.com.
This system provides complete confidentiality to all students as all students have an ID Card and PIN number and use it in the same way.
School Meal Account and Charges
All students who request a school meal may receive a school meal regardless of cash on hand or account balance. Students are permitted to charge one (1) complete student breakfast meal and one (1) complete student lunch meal daily.
Negative balance reminder letters will be sent to parents on a regular basis. All debts must be paid before the end of the school year. Please contact the Food Service Office to make payment arrangements.
Schools may only prohibit charging when a written directive is received from a parent or guardian.
Parent Request for No Charge Form
A la carte, second meals and snack items may not be charged at any time.
Carry Over Balances
Negative balances must be cleared up before the end of the school year. Notices will continue until the debt has been paid. Please contact the Food Service Office to make payment arrangements.
Positive Balance Notifications will be sent to all graduating seniors requesting one of three options: refund, transfer the balance to a sibling or donate the balance for the benefit of another student.
