Welcome to Bethel Park School District Food Services
FREE/REDUCED BREAKFAST AND LUNCH UPDATE--The Bethel Park School District participates in the National School Lunch Program.  Please be aware that Free/Reduced Meals are available to those who qualify.  Please be advised that even if your student(s) qualified for Free/Reduced meals in 2010-2011, you MUST reapply for the 2011-2012 school year.  If you have questions, please call Dana Walker at 412-854-8426.  Forms are available under "Quick Links" to the right.

If your family qualifies for Free/Reduced Meals, you could also qualify for reduced cost broadband internet access from Comcast.  Please click here to learn more.

DISTRICT USES QSP POINT OF SALE SYSTEM

All Bethel Park school cafeterias use the QSP point of sale system.  All cafeterias are now equipped with a touch screen, and once a student enters his/her student ID number into the system, his/her picture appears to ensure no one but your child is accessing his/her account.  Parents have the opportunity to pre-pay for their child's meals either by bringing cash or a check payable to "Bethel Park School District" to school, or you can pre-pay using a credit card via the PayForIt.net on-line service.  Parents who opt to pay with a credit card will be charged 5.75% per transaction.  No service fee will be charged to parents who pre-pay with cash or check.  

Parents can also make payments to PayForIt.Net and into QSP for cafeteria meals with automatic withdrawals from their checking account.  Parents must complete the Lunch Payment by Check Form below.  The cost for this transaction is only $1.25 vs. the 5.75% per credit card transaction.  Parents who pay by check can save per transaction if they make a transaction above $25.  This does not apply to parents who send in a check to school with their child.  This is only for payments to PayForIt.Net via automatic withdrawals from a checking account.

Even if you do not use PayForIt to pre-pay for meals with a credit card, you can still set up a free account for your child and have on-line access to view your account balance, see what your child has purchased and set up email reminders.  To access Pay For It, please click on the logo below.  We encourage you to set up an account to monitor your child's cafeteria activity.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the BPSD Food Service Department at 412-854-8754.

ATTENTION, PARENTS-- The Food Service has implemented a new system to notify parents when their children's cafeteria balances are negative.  The Alert Now calling system will be used to notify parents that a negative cafeteria balance has occurred and to forward payment to the Food Service Department at Neil Armstrong Middle School (during summer months) and to the schools (during the school year).  Questions can be answered by contacting Food Service Director Joe Consolmagno at 412-854-8754 or consolmagno.joe@bpsd.org.
