As a reminder, the FREE Hot Lunch program will end on February 28th.
Please take a moment over the next week or so to check on your child’s lunch account balance and add funds if you plan to have them continue ordering lunch from the school.
A couple of important notes:
*If you had provided a credit card to EZSchoolPay to change a certain amount each month, the town has switched systems and those cards on file have been lost. You will need to re-sign up.
*You can add money to your child’s account online (a convenience fee will apply) at https://www.ezschoolpay.com or by sending in cash or a check to the school (no fee). The check must be made out to “Manchester Hot Lunch Program” and all funds should be in an envelope clearly labeled with the child’s name. If you have not yet signed up for an EZSchoolPay Account and no longer have the email from SJS with your child’s hot lunch account number, you may email aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.
*If you would like to apply for the free or reduced priced meal program for the remainder of the school year, this can also be done on the ezschoolpay website. A hard copy of the free/reduced meal form can be found HERE.
*SJS students are now listed under “Manchester Private Schools” in the EZSchoolPay portal.
