Computerized Point of Sale

Each school uses a computerized point of sale system. Purchases are deducted from the student's account daily.

You may choose to have your student's account set up to allow only one meal per day, without snack or a'la carte items being purchased. You may also set a dollar amount limit to be spent each day. These options need to be discussed with the school's food service manager.

At any time during the year, you may ask for a printout of your student's account activity. This will show lunches as well as extra food items purchased. Call the Food & Nutrition services office at 913-239-4062 to request a copy.

Accessing Your Lunch Account

Elementary Students
There are two ways students can access their meal account.

• Plastic cards - Cards are kept on a rack in the cafeteria and
  collected as students go to the cashier.
• Keypads - Students enter their student ID number and state their name to the cashier. In order to keep students from using other students' accounts, name on screen must match stated name.

Secondary Students

• Keypads - All students will have to know their student ID number. Students will enter their student ID number and state their name to the cashier. In order to keep students from using other students accounts, name on screen must match stated name. BV Food & Nutrition Services may require positive identification if a student is suspected of using another number. Students are encouraged to use their lunch account - it will provide faster, more efficient service.
