Dear NDA Families,
In collaboration with Konop Companies, Notre Dame Academy is pleased to announce the implementation of a computerized payment system for food items purchased in the cafeteria. With this new system, families will be able to add money to a student’s account. Using their school-issued identification cards, students will be able to access these funds for items purchased in the NDA cafeteria.
The first day of service for this new system will be Thursday, April 11th, 2013. In preparation for implementation of the new system, we would like to take the time to introduce this system to all families and to describe the upcoming services that will be offered. In the beginning, the lunch lines may be slower, but as the students familiarize themselves with the system, the lines will improve and move much quicker than before.
Every student will have their own personal meal account based on their current student ID number. To use the new payment system, students will need their school-issued student identification card. If students do not have their ID card, they can get a temporary ID card from the Main Office.
Although we will continue to accept cash, we encourage parents to deposit money into the student’s pre-paid account. This will enable the purchasing process to be more efficient and result in shorter wait periods. Funds paid into a student account can only be used for the purchase of items available in the cafeteria, assuring that money is being used to purchase only food items.
There are two ways to add money to a student account:
- Parents can prepay online at www.myschoolbucks.com at any time. There is a transaction fee of $1.95 to add value to an account using the online payment option.
- You can send in cash or checks to the Cafeteria Manager at NDA. Checks are to be made payable to The Konop Companies, Inc. When sending a prepayment, please include the student’s ID# on the face of the check. If you send in cash, the student’s name and ID# please indicate on the face of the envelope.
For additional information, please visit the NDA website. If you have questions about the new system, contact the Main Office or nd@konopcompanies.com
Thank you in advance for your patience in implementing this system.
