Student ID Numbers
As part of the corrective action plan of the DESE Administrative Review, the district is required to provide documentation of student identification to ensure accurate accountability of each meal served. Students are required to learn their six digit BPS ID number. We are are working with the cafeteria staff to ensure a smooth implementation of this mandate. Thus, before your students go to lunch tomorrow:
- Please write your students ID numbers in a card or sticky note
- In the next few days, help them memorize their ID numbers
- Please send and pick up your students on time to ensure that the cafeteria workers have time to input the student numbers in the system
