How Does This Work?

1. Step One: BCHS creates an account for each student
   Each student is issued a MyMealTime debit account with a personal identification number (PIN).
2. Step Two: Deposit Money into the Account
   This can be done in any of the following ways:
   • Check or cash (in envelope with student's name and grade) brought to the cafeteria manager's office
   • Check or cash at any cashier station in the cafeteria during the lunch periods
   • Via MyMealTime.com with a credit or debit card. See Step 4 to set up your account for online deposit. (Convenience fee of 4.9% is charged to use this method).
3. Step Three: In the Lunch Line
   Student types in their PIN at the lunch line checkout. The cashier sees the name and picture that corresponds to the PIN. If the PIN is forgotten, the student can give their name, and their picture and PIN will be shown. The account is charged for the meal.
4. Step Four: Manage Your Account Online

Important Notes!!

• This system has been created for the convenience of our school families, and you are not required to use it.
• Students may still pay with cash and have their change returned to them on any day except MONDAY. No change will be given on Mondays. The change from all monies handed to the cashier on Monday will enter into the student's account.
• Why MyMealTime? Besides streamlining the lunch process, the system protects the anonymity and confidentiality of students who qualify for free or reduced meals.
• As is our current policy, we will not allow students to have a negative balance in their account or to "charge" lunches.
• You are not required to deposit money online to receive the other services (tracking account balances, spending history, etc.) the site offers.
• When you deposit money online using a credit or debit card, there is a convenience fee of 4.9% assessed for the service of using your credit/debit card.
• If you deposit funds by check and the check is returned for insufficient funds, we will charge the student's account a $25 fee for insufficient funds as this is the amount Bishop Chatard is assessed.
• MyMealTime.com provides answers to your most frequently asked questions about their website and services.
