K-12 School Lunch Enrollment

Efficient, accurate, and cost-effective enrollment processing

Students eating lunchEach year, K-12 schools and districts must process large numbers of school lunch program enrollments. These enrollments must be processed quickly and cost-effectively, and enrollment data must be reported accurately to ensure that schools and districts receive the proper funding. In addition, the enrollment forms must be intuitive and easy to complete.

Pearson Assessments offers K-12 institutions a complete, customizable solution for school lunch enrollment processing that improves speed, cost-effectiveness, and data accuracy. Key features of Pearson Assessments’ school lunch enrollment system include:

  • OMR scan forms
    Consult with our expert forms designers on the most aesthetically pleasing, intuitive, and cost-effective forms for collecting your school lunch enrollment data.

  • Verification of accuracy
    Sometimes handwriting can be difficult to read. In those cases, words and characters are presented to an editor for human verification. You control the accuracy of your data.

  • Export to cafeteria management software
    Once the data has been verified, our custom export software ensures that it is in a format compatible for import to your cafeteria management software.
