Tyler ISD Food & Nutrition Services Department is pleased to announce a new Point of Sale (P.O.S.) system in our school cafeterias. The P.O.S. is a computerized system that allows every student in the district to have his or her own personal account. The money used to purchase the meal ticket can now be deposited into the students individual account and used to purchase breakfast, lunch and/or snacks. Even free and reduced students may deposit money into their accounts for snacks. Furthermore, since every student must now have a student ID card that can only access their account, the identification of free and reduced students is dramatically reduced. What does this mean to parents and students? First, if a parent has more than one child at different schools, they can now write one check or send money and we can deposit it into all the students' accounts from any campus once all schools are on line. Second, if a parent would like to purchase meals for an entire week, month, semester, and/or year, they can now do so. The system will automatically print out a letter informing you when your account is getting low. Third, since this system works just like a bank account, it is a good and safe tool for educating a student of how accounts work in the real world. The old meal tickets were as good as cash, and losing them could have meant losing your child's money. Furthermore, now if your child transfers between schools there is no need for a refund and another check written to a new school because their account transfers with them. Even if you have money left in your account at the end of the year, the P.O.S. system will roll your money over to the next school year. However, refunds can be made if requested. These are just a few of the benefits of this system. If you have any questions and/or concerns please feel free to contact the Food & Nutrition Services Department. |
