PRICING

All Mifflin schools all use a point-of-sale system. This technology allows us to provide debit accounts for purchases and increases the speed of food service to students. Money may be deposited into the account via cash or check. Parents are able to designate what the money can be used for: meals and a la carte items, or meals only.

2018-2019 BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PRICES

Elementary Breakfast – $1.60
Elementary Lunch – $2.60
Secondary Breakfast – $1.75
Secondary Platter – $2.75
Secondary “Mifflin Meal” – $2.95

*NOTE: In the event that school is cancelled due to weather, all menus are subject to change.

POINT OF SALE

Governor Mifflin School District has a online option that allows you to monitor your children’s lunchtime expenditures and make payments with your credit card. It gives you the capability to view what your children have eaten over the last 30 days. This new program allows the parents to have control of your child’s daily purchases. Each child’s account statement is updated continuously so that the information is current. Payments will now be available the same day.

Any money left in your child(ren)’s account at the end of the school year will automatically roll over to the next grade/school building assignment. All accounts will follow your child(ren) until they graduate from Governor Mifflin. Upon graduation, any balances over $5.00 will be transferred to a sibling within the district or refunded by check to the parent/guardian.

SCHOOLCAFÉ

SchoolCafé is available for making online deposits and to make the selections for the purchases that are allowed for your child’s meal account. You will also be able to use your credit card to make your deposits. There is a fee of $1.75 per deposit day. If you have more than one child in the District, the fee will be the same amount of $1.75. If you wish to transfer money from one child’s account to another, please contact Laura Gudikunst, Food Service Director at 610-775-5083 x 5554 or email laura.gudikunst@gmsd.org.

There is no fee to create and maintain your child’s accounts. You may view the purchasing history as well as be notified for low balances through email.

This technology allows us to provide debit accounts for purchases, and increases the speed of food service to students so they have more time to eat and converse. Parents enjoy the convenience of prepaying for their child’s purchases at whatever level they choose. The point of sale system also eliminates the overt identification of students who are eligible for free or reduced meal benefits.

The System allows you to pay in advance for meals and/or A la Carte items. Students still have the option to pay cash on a daily basis. We urge you to take full advantage of this system by placing money into your child’s account on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis. You choose the amount you want to deposit.  Any money not spent by the end of school will be available for your child’s use the following school year. You may use the feature to receive a low balance notification. For proper notification of low balances, it is recommended to use $8.00 as the minimum balance so that you are notified in a timely matter

 
We are proud of the quality Food Service Program we offer at Governor Mifflin School District, and we do our best to keep our customers, the students happy and well fed.

School Café Student Meal System

We use SchoolCafé, our POS portal to connect families to your local K-12 school nutrition. SchoolCafé is passionately developed and supported by PrimeroEdge, has great features (payments, alerts, etc.) that you’ve come to love, along with some amazing new capabilities. Here is the link to access SchoolCafé: https://www.schoolcafe.com/#/login
You can either access your existing account or set up a new account. You can also download the app to your phone and apply for free or reduced meals.

New Future!
Students are now able to create and view their account, but they will not be able to make changes. Menus will also be available. Please click here to view the current procedures.

In the future, Governor Mifflin School District will provide online cafeteria menus on the SchoolCafé website. This gives you the ability to view what is on the menu at your child’s school cafeteria and view nutritional/allergen information. There are also a bunch of cool interactive options available for you to rate, favorite, and share what’s on the menu. If you do not see the menu features after logging on, don’t be alarmed; we will let you know when you can use these additional features once we have everything updated. Note: Features relating to menus and menu item information (nutrition and allergens) are controlled by Governor Mifflin School District.

SchoolCafé now allows student accounts. Students 13 and older can create accounts to view and interact with the school cafeteria menu. We’ve also created a cool new feature that allows students to connect to their cafeteria account to see their account balance and view their purchase history. Our students always want to know what their account balance is, and now they can access their account balance at any given time. They will know what is on the menu for the day, and they will be able to access their ID on their phone. Note: This feature is controlled by your school district and they can choose to turn this on or off.

As always, our ultimate goal is to serve amazing families. Your feedback is always welcome and we promise you’ll always be heard. Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you and we hope that you absolutely love SchoolCafé. Have a great 2016-17 school year!
