When ordering your lunch in the morning, it's important for students to accurately order what they want to eat that afternoon. Frequently, there is a problem with students ordering one lunch and taking another, resulting in someone not getting that grilled cheese they especially wanted.
Each student will be issued a PowerLunch ID card in September. Teachers will distribute lunch ID cards to students who are buying lunch or a drink just before going to lunch each day.
If students have money on their PowerLunch account, the money will be deducted from that account. Students will still have the option of paying cash, but need to still complete their lunch transaction using their PowerLunch ID card.
Additional Lunch Information:
There is a $10.00 minimum on PowerLunch deposits. If students bring in any amount lower than this, they should pay in line as they did prior to our PowerLunch implementation.
Students may add money to their lunch account by cash or check (payable to Pennsville School District) only. Deposits will be added by school cafeteria personnel in the morning between 8:10 and 8:40 a.m. Parents have two options for making deposits:
Send money in with their child in a sealed envelope. Teachers will send these students to the cafeteria to deposit the money between 8:10 and 8:40 a.m. (OR)
Parents may come in between these times to deposit lunch money.
If we find that lunch cards are being deliberately destroyed, we will be charging the student’s family $5.00 to replace the card. Please encourage your child not to bend, bite, write on, cut, or otherwise destroy his/her lunch card.
Remember your lunchtime is for the enjoyment of all. Keep the noise level down.
