A computerized debit card system will allow you to pay in advance for meals and a la carte foods. The system works with a PIN pad that is similar to an ATM. Your child will enter their personal identification number (PIN) to access their account, which is the same number used for computer lab and library check-out. Their PIN number will stay the same throughout the remaining years your child is enrolled at The Greendale School District.

Please note that this system is very confidential. All students will be required to enter their PIN number regardless of meal status or payment method, thus insuring your child’s privacy. All students will have an established debit account, for your convenience, you may wish to choose one of the following options for making advanced payments.  To prevent fraudulent use of student accounts, each register is equipped with a digital image of your child, as well, which will appear on the monitor for the cashier to view every time your child accesses his or her account, therefore insuring that no other student can use your child’s account.

Money will only be deducted from an account when the student uses the account to purchase meals and/or a la carte items. The system will know the meal status of your student (full-pay, free, or reduced) and will deduct the correct amount from the account.

There is no limit on the amount of money that can be deposited into a debit account.  

Advanced Payment Options
CASH ON ACCOUNT -- A cash debit account is created by making a payment of a certain dollar amount ($5.00, $10.00, $20.00, etc) to the cafeteria.  These funds are then deposited into your child’s debit account. The account balance simply decreases as purchases take place. Money should be sent to school in an envelope provided by you.  It should be clearly labeled with the child’s name, teacher’s name, date, and amount enclosed.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS – To make this option available to you, The Greendale School District has enrolled with an online payment service called “Café Prepay”. This payment option is available only if you have access to the internet.  The school cannot accept credit card payments directly. This service allows you to pay for your child’s school meals using your Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card.  To use the service, you must first enroll at the website: http://www.CafePrepay.com

DIRECT WITHDRAWAL – To give parents more flexibility, Café Prepay is now able to make automatic monthly deposits into you students’ school account via Direct Withdrawal.  As with credit card payments, you will receive payment confirmations via e-mail and the school will receive a list of direct withdrawal payments.  A $1 service fee will be charged to each monthly withdrawal, regardless of withdrawal amount.  

All menus are printed on the district website.  In addition, monthly menus are sent home with students. Each lunch costs $1.65. Additional serving may be purchased for an additional $1.00. Students bringing cold lunches may purchase milk daily for 30 cents.  Milk punch cards can be purchased at $3.00 for 10 punches. Please bring the $3.00 to school in an envelope clearly labeled. The cost of milk and/or lunch may be subject to change.
