Valley  is upgrading the Mealpay Plus - Online Prepayment System with an integrated biometrics scanner at the point of sale.  This new system allows for the students to access payment with a touch of the scanner.  The benefits include:

  • Eliminates manual entry of student pin number

  • Provides an audit trail of meals purchased

  • Increases speed of lunch service

  • Adds to the efficiency of staff

Next week, Valley Foods will begin enrolling our students in grades K4-12.  Each child will put his or her finger on a reader that takes a series of vector analysis measurements that are stored. This is not taking a fingerprint or storing a fingerprint, but the measurements are stored as a data file.  Now students will no longer have to remember a number.
