May. 2, 2006 - Student Lunch Account

E-Meal

School lunches, in Westport, are going hi-tech!  Beginning May 1, Westport parents can now deposit money into a student lunch account, for their children.  Students are issued a debit card that works as an ATM card.  Using the card, lunch purchases are deducted each time the student buys lunch.  When the lunch account dips below $8.00, an envelope is sent home as a reminder to refill the account.  Parents may also request an activity report showing them what their child has purchased.  Sorry kids - no more just snacks and drinks, for lunch.
