🔢 WE KNOW OUR PIN NUMBER!
Our students at Shep use a six-digit PIN number when checking out at breakfast and lunch. The best part? This number stays the same throughout your student’s time in the Mechanicsburg Area School District!
Ask your child: Do you know your PIN number? 😊
A little practice at home can make breakfast and lunch checkout quick and easy! 🐾
