Nutrition Software
Students in all district schools use the
PrimeroEdge School Nutrition software for
lunch and breakfast purchases. PrimeroEdge is
a computerized accounting system which can
eliminate the need for parents to send money
to school with their son or daughter on a daily
basis to pay for food or drinks purchased in any
of the district’s cafeterias.
Every student is assigned an account that
can be accessed only by their student PIN
(Personal Identification Number). Once given
to a student, the PIN remains the same from
year to year. When making a purchase at the
cafeteria, the student enters his/her PIN and if
there is money in the account, the price of the
purchase, including ala carte items, is deducted
from the account balance.
Students with no funds in their account will
not be permitted to charge ala carte items to
their account. The district may impose charge
limits for individuals who fail to keep their
account current. Funds in the student’s account
can only be used for cafeteria purchases.
The PrimeroEdge system will automatically
recognize the students who meet eligibility
requirements for free or reduced meals and
make appropriate deductions.
Students/parents can place money into
individual accounts by sending a check (made
payable to the Greensburg Salem Cafeteria
Fund) to school. In addition, families now have
the opportunity to use SchoolCafe.com, a
service that offers a review of a child’s cafeteria
purchases, as well as allows prepayment to the
cafeteria account using a credit or debit card.
Accounts on SchoolCafe.com can be created
free-of-charge, without providing credit card
information, to give any parent the ability to
review student cafeteria purchases. Families are
not required to make deposits into their child’s
account using the SchoolCafe.com service.
Parents who would like the convenience of
paying online can do so with a minimum
of $20.00 payment subtotal, excluding the
5% service fee charged for each payment.
Greensburg Salem School District does not
receive any of the service fees charged by
SchoolCafe on all online food service payments.
More information about the PrimeroEdge
School Nutrition program will be provided to
students and parents at the beginning of the
school year. If at any time you have questions
about PrimeroEdge or any aspects of our food
service program, please feel free to call your
child’s school or the Food Service Director
at 724.832.2990.
