Get Your Kids Started Right - With Free Breakfast!
Submitted by Brenda Holden, LISD Food Services
Are your kids going to school without breakfast in the morning? Would you like your child to have a nutritious breakfast so they are prepared to learn?  Are your mornings rushed making it difficult to get everything accomplished?

We can help!  We would like for your child to participate in our School Breakfast Program.  Numerous studies confirm the positive impact of breakfast:

• Improved memory, verbal fluency and problem-solving capability

School Cafeterias at Livingston ISD ‘Serve’ Parents Online.
Submitted by Brenda Holden, Livingston ISD, August 27, 2008

Livingston ISD, has implemented “Lunch Money Now”, an addition to the point-of-sale software provided by Systems Design of Corpus Christi, Texas.  Systems Design specializes in food service management systems for school nutrition programs.

Lunch Money Now permits parents to access their student's cafeteria account via the Internet. Linked from Livingston’s home page (www.livingstonisd.com), it provides the ability to view the student’s account balance, view/print the student's recent purchase history and make deposits to the child’s meal account using a debit/credit card.  Deposits are recorded on a secure (SSL) site and are typically available on the student's account within the hour of the transaction. Lunch Money Now allows deposits to multiple accounts with a single credit card transaction.

Livingston ISD joins over 100 other school districts in Texas using Lunch Money Now.  This service has been popular with students and parents alike because of its convenience.  District employees like it because it saves time and reduces the need to handle cash. 

A new feature implemented last fall allows parents to subscribe for e-mail warnings when their child’s account dips below a specified threshold.  With the help of Lunch Money Now, Livingston ISD is now ready to ‘serve’ you!
