Husky Diner

Every student needs lunch during the school day.  Research has shown that hungry children cannot learn.  A child with an empty stomach is lethargic, irritable, and is not able to participate fully in learning experiences.  Good nutrition is critical to student achievement.

The Husky Diner and Husky Pup Diner use the Lunch Cashier System which was written for use by schools that serve daily hot meals to students.  The system provides complete management information about family meal accounts, including receipts, charges made against accounts by students or adults purchasing lunches or milk and auto automatic monitoring of account balances.  This system is a debit system, which means that you deposit money into your family account and as students/adults eat, the meal charge is deducted from your account balance.  You must have money in your account in order to use it as the Aurora Public Schools has a no charging policy.

Each family account has a three digit Family ID number for deposits and each student has a four digit lunch ID number to make purchases from the family account.  Each student will need to memorize their lunch ID number as it will remain the same throughout their enrollment in the Aurora Public Schools.

Families that qualify for free or reduced price benefits must deposit money in their account if they want their child(ren) to purchase any other food items other than the one meal per day provided by the program.
