Snack / A La Cart Purchases

We are excited to announce that, starting in the 2018-2019 school year, students at Burlington Township High School, Burlington Township Middle School, and Fountain Woods Elementary School will have the option to purchase snacks and a la carte items using their student pin account.

Please take a few moments to speak to your child about this new option. We do not want parents to be surprised when their child(ren) purchase snacks and a la carte items using their student pin account. We recognize this may decrease your child’s account balance more quickly and wanted to ensure parents were aware. Be reminded that this is the same account from which students pay for their lunches.

The option to purchase snacks and a la carte items using their student pin account will be offered to all Burlington Township High School, Burlington Township Middle School, and Fountain Woods Elementary School students unless you actively opt your child out. Click here to access the Google form to OPT-OUT. If you have more than one child, you should submit the form separately for each child that you wish to opt out.

Here are a few points of clarification regarding this option:

• • We will not allow a child to purchase snacks or a la carte items using their student pin account unless there is enough money in the account to cover the cost.

  • Be reminded that this is the same account from which students pay for their lunches.

  • If a parent chooses to restrict their child, their child will not be permitted to purchase snacks or a la carte items unless the child has cash.

  • If a parent completes the opt-out form and changes their mind at a later time, the parent must contact the school cafeteria at cafeteria@burltwpsch.org to have the restriction removed.

  • Parents have the ability to control their settings in the LunchTime Portal. Take time to control how funds in your child’s account are replenished and notifications regarding low balances. Please review your settings.
