SENIOR ANNOUNCEMENTS

Senior announcement packets are due in the office on Thursday, February 14, 2008.  If you did not receive an announcement packet, they are available in the front office.

 

FYI - As with the class rings, varsity jackets and senior pictures, announcements are optional. The school provides this opportunity to families, but you are under no obligation to purchase any of the items offered. If you do choose to send out announcements, you can purchase them through the school or an independent vendor.

MEALPAY UPGRADED SYSTEM IN JANUARY

(Below is a copy of a letter to parents from Mealpay, the online prepayment service provided through the school district for school lunches)

 

Dear Parent:

 

We are excited to let you know that will offer you a new and improved MealpayPlus beginning on January 1, 2008! We have added upgraded enhancements and features to MealpayPlus to continue to offer you the convenience and information you need to manage your student's account. In addition to a new state-of-the-art parent support center, you now have the ability to view pending and confirmed payments!

 

Due to system upgrades, each parent will need to register or re-register their account on www.mealpayplus.com after January 1st. Instructions on how to register are listed on www.mealpayplus.com. All account balances and deposits made through MealpayPlus before the end of the year will reflect on your new account.

 

**Don't forget to reset your Low-Balance Email Reminders and Auto-Replenish payments. These settings will need to be re-actived on your new account.**

 

For those parents not familiar with the system, MealpayPlus allows parents to go online to www.mealpayplus.com to manage your student's meal account. MealpayPlus allows you to make deposits, view account balances at no cost, and even create settings to auto-replenish your account or receive free reminder emails when the balance is low. Visit www.mealpayplus.com today!

 

Your satisfaction is our number one priority, and we're looking forward to offering you a new and improved MealpayPlus!

 

Thank you again,

The MealpayPlus Team

 

FYI - I have heard from at least one parent who didn't know about this upgrade and the need to re-register, especially the auto-replenish feature. I don't know how many parents use Mealpay and all of its features, since there is a fee associated with some of them, but I thought everybody should be made aware of the changes that went into effect in January. The letter I copied was on the back of a flyer that was clearly intended to go home to the parents. I don't know if and/or when it was distributed at the high school.
