Update on ParentMail Dinner Pay:
In general, ParentMail Pay is going really well. Many of our parents have been able to pay for dinners, Morning Club, milk and swimming.
In school today dinners went really well, as our first day. Many thanks to those parents who credited their children's accounts with funds; to our office staff for fielding lots of queries and cash and our supervisory staff for making the whole process run so very well.
A few children still came with cash to the office and canteen and a few children came without both cash or lodged credits. Nevertheless, our wonderful staff managed it all really well and I thank them all so very much.
For parents’ information, the dinner charge system works on a retrospective credit basis. That is, before the start of the week parents will preorder dinner days on a form and top up their dinner money account on ParentMail if it is needed. At the end of the week if eaten, all dinners are removed from the budget. If a paid dinner is not eaten on a certain day, then money will not be taken from the system on Friday afternoon and a credit will roll over. This approach saves taking monies and then giving back if a child is sick. Parents should be assured if a child forgets their lunch or mum or dad forgets to credit the account then your child will still be fed and then your account will have a minus cost added and reminders will automatically be sent by the ParentMail system.
Parents of children who never eat dinners can ignore the Dinner Account Top Up Reminders and weekly lunch booking form that will go out each week. Should anyone have any fears or queries just email away to office@whiteabbeyps.co.uk and we will try and reply as soon as possible.
