Our Point of Sale Lunch/Breakfast System is in operation and is running smoothly. You now have the “option” to go online and manage your child’s
account. You may deposit, for a small fee, using the Pay-for-It option. You will be able to set up an account and keep track of your child’s
lunch/breakfast activity all on your own if you wish, although the cashier, Mrs. Christina Miller, is still able to take care of it for you if you prefer. If you
choose the option of sending it into the cashier, Breakfast and Lunch money can be sent in the same envelope for multiple students. Please be sure to
indicate how the money should be applied to each Pin # (student) account. Please call the school office at (330)852-2441 or send in a note if you have
questions or concerns which can be directed to Tina Medley, Secretary or Christina Miller, Cashier – we both will be happy to
help out in any way that we can.
