Back to School: why would the district need your “Key Pad” number when you buy something in cash?
Here’s my question: why would the district need your “Key Pad” number when you buy something in cash? I can understand POS for retail, even in an educational setting, to track inventory, sales of specific items for planning, etc. It just is weird that you even need an identifying number when it comes to cash purchases.
Am I insane? It reeks of Big Bro, Ridgewood style.
Hello Parents of Ridgewood Middle Schools and High School,
As you may know, we have implemented a Point-of-Sales system in the cafeterias at the Middle Schools and High School. In order to make the lunch period run quickly and efficiently, we ask that you remind your students that they will require a Key Pad number for purchasing items from the cafeterias, either on account or in cash. Your students key pad number can be found in Skyward Family or Student Access under Food Service. If you need assistance, please email skywardhelp@ridgewood.k12.nj.us.
Thank you for your patience during this transition period.
