[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 327985, member: 7948"] At my kid's school, they have accounts available. I give money to the cafeteria manager who deposits $$ to their account. When they go through the lunch line they input their account number and it withdraws it from their account. Perhaps your school has a similar set up? This allows me to avoid the constant "Mom I need lunch money" routine since I put in enough money to last for several weeks at a time by sending or taking in a check that goes directly to the cafeteria manager. And, if needed, it allows a certain insight into whether the child is eating lunch. Our manager is very helpful with things like this. When I called to ask about the balance in difficult child#2's account and there was exactly the amount I'd put in after 8 weeks of school...well we already knew he wasn't eating at school but that was very helpful proof of the fact. Then she promptly transferred the $$ to his sister's account for me and we left $5 on his, just in case. [/QUOTE]
