FINGER SCANNING
Waterloo Food Service uses PaySchools Point of Sales system in conjunction with Identifier Biometric finger scanners to process sales in the cafeteria.
When a student is enrolled an account is established for each student and the index finger on each hand of each student is scanned into the biometric system to identify the student when they go through the meal service line.
This allows students to move through the meal line faster and prevents overt identification of students who qualify for the free/reduced meal program.
IF a student does not enroll in finger scanning the student MUST learn & enter their 6 digit PIN each time at the Point of Sale.
Some fact about biometric finger scanning
We use biometric finger scanning because it’s fast, accurate, cost-effective & secure
NO fingerprint images stored. Only encrypted numerical representations of the unique points of the fingerprint are stored.
identiMetrics never takes your fingerprint, only unique points. The actual fingerprint cannot be recreated from the encrypted template.
identiMetrics uses a proprietary algorithm that can only be used with identiMetrics software.
This is not a fingerprint, as the students grow; we must periodically rescan because the numerical representations change.
Free/Reduced Price Meals
The NSLP & NSBP Act allows school districts to Directly Certify ("Direct Certification") students as eligible for free/reduced school meals using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Ohio Works First (OWF) or Medicaid information.
Direct Certification is processed in August and frequently throughout the year. If you qualify you will receive notice through the mail.
If you feel your family may qualify for Free/Reduced priced meals but did not receive Direct Certification Notice you will need to complete the
2026/2027 Free/Reduced Meal Application
applications are available in school offices, printable version from website or complete on line through PaySchools
If you receive notice of Direct Certification you must sign and return the Fee Waiver portion every year if you qualify
Only Free status qualifies for waivers
Fee Waiver includes instructional fee and Chromebook fee
