• We are outsourcing our cafeteria services to St. Albert Nutrition Service (SANS) this year to provide more options to our students and to minimize operating costs for the school.
• A welcome letter and menu from SANS can be found here.
• SANS also uses the PaySchools platform and your student accounts are in the process of migration.
• The Federal Government is once again providing free lunch to all students for the entire school year.

• We are still in the process of converting your old St. Christopher PaySchools account to your new SANS PaySchools account. It is a bit complicated because are we are sumltaneously converting Option C, our current Student Information System (SIS) to a new SIS called FACTS. Many of you are already using the FACTS Financial/Payment Module, but we will soon be using the full suite of FACTS products.
• Part of the process involves converting your Option C student identification number into a FACTS student indentification number and linking it to your PaySchools account. We will notify you when that process has been completed.
• If you need access to your PaySchools account before that notification:
• you can go to the SANS website and follow their step-by-step intructions
• you will need to re-register in the system using “St. Albert” as the district
• you will need to indicate which student(s) to attach to your account using the "Add/View Student" tab.
• for now, you can continue to use your Option C student identifcation number(s) in order to re-register,
• If you are a new family and do not have a current Option C account, we will provide you a student identification number after the FACTS conversion has been completed.
• Many families still have funds in their accounts from last year. All of these funds will automatically transfer to your new account.
• If you have a large balance and want a full or partial refund, that will happen with SANS once we are fully operational with them.
• Similarly, if you received a federal lunch refund last year and you do not want to leave that balance in your account, your refund will be processed by SANS in the near future.
• Please remember that balances and pre-payments can still be used for extra drinks, snacks, etc.
