What's Happening at Bedford Food
Service
Bedford Food Service has implemented a computerized
system for students to use for food service purchases.
- System allows for parental controls to be set on an individual basis.
- Assures privacy of students participating in the National School Lunch
and Breakfast Program for free or reduced meals.
- Elementary students will use a PIN (Personal Identification Number) and
secondary students will use PIN or Identification card to access their accounts.
Student's PIN is their student numbers that they utilize for other
services in the district such as media services and computer access.
Prepayments are accepted for student's food service
accounts. All monies sent in will be applied to student's food
service account. Please place prepayments in an envelope marked with
student's name and room/grade. Prepaying helps lines move more
quickly and allows students more time to eat and socialize in the
dining area!
Charges
- Students will
be allowed a maximum of two meal charges. If not repaid, student
will be provided a peanut butter
or cheese sandwich and milk. Repayment of charges is expected the
next school day. If a hardship circumstance exists applications
are
available
for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program.
