DIRECT CERTIFICATION

Families receiving State SNAP or TANF are eligible for free meals. If you receive a letter in August of each new school year that directly certifies your children for free meals, you do not have to complete an application. If all children in your household are not listed on the letter, please call the Food Service office at 717-334-6254 ext. 1204 immediately. If you do not receive a letter and are receiving assistance you must complete a meal application.

We're excited to introduce our new school webstore! It simplifies payments for meals, student fees, fundraisers, and more, all online. Enjoy the ease of secure transactions from home, without the hassle of forms, checks, or cash.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Food Service Department at 717-334-6254 Ext. 1204.

POINT OF SALE (POS) SYSTEM

Each cafeteria has a Point of Sale (POS) system. Your child will be assigned a personal identification number, also called a PIN number. This is the five-digit number assigned to your child when they enroll in the District. Your child will enter their PIN number on a keypad each time a purchase is made in the cafeteria and the sale will be debited from the account balance. If your child's meal application has been approved for free or reduced meals, it will be programmed into the POS system and remain confidential.
