DISTRICT LUNCH PROGRAM INFORMATION
GREENFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT
LUNCH SYSTEM FOR THE CAFETERIA
Dear Parents,
Greenfield School District has computerized Point of Sale payment system for all school meals purchased in the district’s cafeterias. The first few days the lunch lines may be slower while they refamilarize themselves with the system. Breakfast will be served at all schools and will utilize the same system.
Every student will have their own personal meal account and number which is their student ID number. Students can access their accounts on the PIN pads located at every register. Students know their ID number, but if they forget, we can assist and access it through the register for them. As students remember their numbers and need less assistance, the meal line will move faster.
We strongly encourage parents to deposit money into the student’s account. Monies paid into a student account can be used for all types of food purchases. This system allows students to charge against their account – negative balances are not allowed, therefore please make sure to fund your account accordingly.
If your student has qualified for free or reduced price lunch and breakfast program, this information is securely contained within the system and the meal will be processed just as it is for all other students, drastically reducing the chance of overt identification.
Thank you in advance for your patience in implementing this system.

- When making a deposit with “Credit” or “PayPal Credit”, funds will be available the same day at 11:00am if the deposit is made prior to 10:15am. Funds will be available the next day if the deposit is made after 10:15am.

Parents will see the deposit when viewing their child’s account online, but “pending” will show next to the deposit and funds will not be available for use in the lunch line until it clears.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Where can I find my children's ID numbers to create an online account?
A. Your student’s school can furnish ID numbers.
Q. I registered for an online account with NutriKids but didn’t receive a confirmation. Why?
A. Sometimes employers or internet providers use email filters that block email from entering your Inbox. This can send NutriKids’ confirmation emails and low balance notices to your Spam folder. Please check your Spam folder.
Q. Can I deposit money online in August to ready my students’ accounts for the start of the school year, or will we need to wait until school officially starts to do so?
A. You may deposit money online at anytime. You do not need to wait until school begins.
Q. How do I know what amount to set for my low balance email?
A. Consider two things when setting low balance email amounts; how you wish to pay and how much your student spends per day. Credit card and PayPal credit card account payments process in 24 hours on week days and 48 hours on weekends. Debit card, eCheck, and PayPal checking account withdrawal payments may take up to 7 operating days for bank processing.
For example, if you choose to use an existing Paypal account that draws on your checking account, an eCheck, or a Debit card you may wish to set your middle school student’s low-balance notice at $23.00 ($2.30 meal times 10 days); or if you choose to deposit by credit card or existing Paypal credit card account, you may wish to set your student’s low-balance notice at $6.15 ($2.05 meal times 3 days).
If your student’s purchase history includes ala carte items as well as the standard meal, consider the average daily cost as well as the bank processing time when setting your low-balance amount.
Q. I forgot my login password. What do I do now?
A. No problem. The MyNutiKids website has an email link to support@MyNutriKids.com. Just send them an email requesting your password and within 2 hours you will receive a reply to your account’s original, confirmed email address.
Q. What happens if my child has a balance at the end of the year?
A. The balance is rolled into the following year. Money will be returned upon request from the parent.
