8/3/2020

Click Here to Register for Meals

Questions?
Please contact School Food Service at: cnpinfo@ebrschools.org

How do I register for EBR meals? An email will be sent to all parents with a link to the registration form. Parents will receive a QR code that will become their digital meal ticket.
What do I need to have to register my child/ren? Name of all students enrolled in EBR schools, the name of the EBR School each child attends and the student ID number for each student will be helpful but not required.
What do I do if I do not know my child’s ID number? If you do not know the ID number, skip the question and continue to the next question.
Do I have to complete a form for each child? NO. Please complete one form per household. If you have multiple children in the same household, you should register them all at the same time. If you do not, you will receive multiple codes.
Can I pick up a meal for someone else? You can pick up a meal for someone else but you must have their code. EBRPSS will not assume responsibility if a shared meal card is used without consent. Electronic meal cards can only be scanned once per day.
Can I use a ticket more than once? The electronic meal cards will be valid to use once per day while the student is enrolled in the EBR school system.
How do I report a lost/stolen electronic ticket? As long as the parent can access email, they can access their meal ticket.
Can I register to receive an electronic meal card onsite? Yes. Pre-printed directions will be provided to each manager to assist with onsite registration. A short link to the Form will be available onsite and a QR code that would take the parent to the code. Parents without a current device or needing other assistance (Limited English) can go inside to the school to receive assistance from staff.
What will I need to register for the electronic meal card onsite? A device with internet connectivity and access to the email address you send the electronic meal card to will be needed. If registering onsite, there may be a short delay between registering and receiving meals.
What if the school secretary has not enrolled the student through JCampus? A paper copy for the form will be made available to to enroll for the meal service.
What do I do if I have more than 7 children to register for meals? Start a second registration form to add the additional children.
How does a parent edit the registration in the event a student needs to be added or dropped for the digital meal ticket?The parent would re-register and the new registration would overwrite the old registration.
What happens if the mom receives the QR code on her email, but the child is staying with the dad/grandpa/babysitter, etc. that day and they do not have the QR code? One parent texts or emails the QR code to the other one or to the caregiver.
How will we scan the QR codes? Managers will have Chromebooks to authenticate the meal tickets and provide contact-free service.
