Lunchtime Low Balance Notification
|
|
Beginning Monday, families will receive email notification if their child's Lunchtime account balance falls below $10. This is for informational purposes only.
To add funds to this account, you may log into your son or daughter's MMS Lunchtime account to add funds to this balance. You may also send a minimum of $10.00 via check only (no cash) in an envelope marked clearly with your child's name, homeroom, and ID number, to the school office.
Please be reminded of our low balance policy, which was included on the Lunchtime Cafeteria Program Guidelines Acknowledgement Form you signed and submitted at the beginning of the school year. It states, "If a student has a lunchtime balance at $0.00 or below, they will only have the option to purchase a "low balance lunch" consisting of a peanut butter and jelly or cheese sandwich, fruit, and drink (1% white milk, iced tea, or orange drink) for $3.00.
We also encourage parents to sign up for email notifications when their Lunchtime account balances are getting low through the MMS Lunchtime portal.

Businesses Giving Back to YC
|

During this holiday season, there are two places who are giving back to YC for every dollar you spend.
 Amazon Smile
If you typically do any of your Christmas shopping online at amazon.com, go to www.smile.amazon.com instead and the Amazon Smile Foundation will donate .5% of eligible AmazonSmile purchases to York Catholic's Student Aid and Endowment Fund. Simply select York Catholic as the recipient of the donation when making your purchase. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know -- same products, same prices, same service -- with an added benefit for your favorite cause.
