School Food Services
The Triad District school meal services utilize a computerized point of sale cafeteria system for both breakfast and lunch meal services in all attendance centers. The system has established every student with an account in the cafeteria that can be accessed by using a barcode based on their Triad student ID. Students are provided with a Photo ID card with this barcode at the start of each school year.
