POS System
As you may be aware, the Carmel CSD Food Services Department is using a computerized Point of Sale (POS) System in all building cafeterias. I hope you find the following information useful in understanding how it works:
Comments on Accounts – The POS System has the capability of putting a comment on your student's cafeteria account. If you would like to place a restriction on a la carte purchases to a particular day of the week, please see the Lunch Account Restriction Form posted on the Food Services webpage.
Carmel CSD participates in a federally funded Child Nutrition Program and any meals, milk, and snacks served must meet program requirements. Reasonable meal accommodations will be made when the accommodation requested is due to a disability or impairment. If you are requesting a meal accommodation for a food allergy, diet restriction, or substitution, please send a doctor's note to the school nurse. The school nurse will inform the cafeteria staff and a note will be placed on your student's cafeteria account.
The Carmel Central School District offers MySchoolBucks, an online payment service providing a quick and easy way to add money to your student’s meal account using a credit/debit card. You can view recent purchases, check balances, and set-up low balance alerts for FREE! To register for a free account, go to www.MySchoolBucks.com. If you are sending your student to school with cash or a check, please make sure to have the cash or check (in any amount) in an envelope marked “Cafeteria”. Please include on the outside of the envelope your child’s name and PIN number. Please help your student memorize their PIN number. When students know their PIN number, the lunch lines move efficiently.
Other important information to remember:
- Students cannot use the account of another student (i.e. siblings, friends, etc.)
- Cash is still accepted on the lunch lines.
- Separate checks are required for siblings in different buildings. Checks can be made payable to CCSD Cafeteria Account.
