Lunch Money Goes High Tech
In Elk Grove, Calif., the Elk Grove Unified School District is taking lunch money online, as students’ parents have a new option to prepay online for student lunches through myLunchMoney.com.
Gone are checks and paper money, as the new system allows parents to use their debit or credit cards to make payments, as well as monitor online when accounts need replenishing. (As for the students, they no longer have to keep track of money–they just need to remember their own personal identification numbers to trigger food purchases.)
At myLunchMoney.com, parents can view what meals their child purchased for the week, set weekly or daily spending limits, view a seven-day history of student purchases, receive email notification when their student’s account balance is low, receive email notification prior to credit card expiration, fund multiple students at the same time, set the account to automatically replenish when the balance gets low, and send automatic monthly transaction reports of all their myLunchMoney.com payments.
What will they think of next?!

way cool!
We have this in Phoenix, too, but it’s through EZSchoolPay.com. Very handy and you don’t have to worry about them losing their lunch money.
