LUNCH PROCEDURE
ID badges are distributed on the first day of school and available for immediate use in the cafeteria.
Teaneck High School has the convenience of a pre-paid lunch account and a personalized identification system.
All Teaneck High School students are required to swipe their ID badge, or punch their ID number into the keypad
at the register, when purchasing a meal. This procedure applies regardless of whether the student is accessing a
prepaid account or paying with cash.
The student meal prices are:
Breakfast $1.60
Lunch $3.15
Milk 50¢
(Prices subject to change)
Monies are deposited into the student’s lunch account as an established line of credit. Whenever the student
selects lunch items, he/she swipes his/her ID card or punches his/her id number into the keypad next to the
cash register. The cashier will verify that the person pictured on the screen is making the purchase. The amount
due is immediately deducted from the available balance and the account is updated with each purchase.
Monies paid from July 1st to September 3rd can be sent or brought to the main office. Monies paid from
September 7th to June 30th can be given directly to the cashier in the Cafeteria. Cash is acceptable and all
checks must be payable to Teaneck Board of Education. A receipt is available with each deposit upon request.
Money can also be placed directly into the student’s lunch account using he online prepayment system
implemented in May 2010. Please see the Teaneck School district website for further instructions.
