My kid's school app sent a 'behavior alert' because he bought a soda

Last Thursday, the lunch money app our district uses pinged me with a red flag warning. It said 'unusual purchase pattern' because my son spent $2.50 on a drink from the vending machine after eating his packed lunch. I mean, it's a machine in the hallway, not a bar. Now I'm worried this note is stuck in some file that makes him look bad. Has anyone else gotten these weird automated judgments from school software?

Ugh, I just called the office like @lindag33 said and they cleared it.

Our district software once flagged my daughter for the high crime of buying two milks.

Was it really a big deal though? Like who cares about an extra milk?
