Lunch Accounts

Our Lunchtime Point of Sale purchasing system for student lunches is connected directly to the MMS online parent portal accessible through the York Catholic website. Parents simply log in to the MMS parent portal, choose "View Cafeteria Account," click "Students," and follow the options to deposit money into their students' accounts. As parents, you will be able to view what your student is purchasing in the cafeteria. To ensure we are using this system to its potential, everyone is required to use their Lunchtime account log in to pay for his or her lunch meals. The following policies have been established regarding Lunchtime Accounts and Balances. We encourage parents to sign up for email notification when their Lunchtime account balances are getting low.

It is the student and parent's responsibility to monitor the Lunchtime account online for balance information and retain a positive balance at all times.
If a student has a lunchtime balance at $0.00 or below, they will only have the option to purchase a lunch consisting of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fruit, and drink (1% white milk, iced tea, or orange drink) for $3.00.
No refunds will be given during the school year. Seniors will be issued a refund on accounts with a balance of $2 or more during the last two weeks of school. All other accounts will roll-over to the next school year.
Report cards and MMS access will be held at the end of each quarter if Lunchtime balances are not current.
NEW FOR 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR: Checks and/or cash will not be accepted in the cafeteria for food purchases during lunch periods. This is a change from last year. All cash and/or checks must be submitted to the main office prior to the start of homeroom. Funds may not be available for 24 hours.
