Cafeteria

Breakfast and Lunch

Your child(ren) have the opportunity to get a healthy breakfast and/or lunch through Maschio’s Food Services, Inc., Ogdensburg Elementary School’s carefully chosen vendor.

All meals include 1) grains/breads, 2) meat/meat alternative, 3) fruit/juice/vegetable, and 4) refreshing milk.¹  Students must choose at least three items. Make sure one is a fruit, juice, or vegetable!

 

How to Pay

Ogdensburg Elementary School allows for cafeteria payments to be made via cash or through PaySchools Central, a computerized point-of-sale (POS) debt system where parents can open an account and purchase meals and snacks in advance online or using a check. It is important to know, if cash is used at the register the change will be placed on the student’s account. NO cash will be given at the register. 

Once an account is created, it issues a meal card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to your child(ren), which corresponds to their food service account and should be kept confidential.
