Student Life
Hot Lunch Program
The price is $8.50 per meal in monthly blocks. The instructions for signing up to create a MySchoolLunch account are below.
Please remember that once you add money to your son’s account, you will need to select that month's lunch offering through the PreOrder button before your son will be on the list to receive a lunch.
How to Set up an Account
St. Anselm’s Abbey School has partnered with MySchoolAccount.com for the managing of our lunch service and payments. MySchoolAccount.com offers you the ability to make deposits directly into your student’s account online or via their Mobile App. Here you will Pre-Order Meals, track what your children have been eating for the past 30 days, transfer funds between students and have an email reminder sent to you when an account balance gets low. Deposits and payments can be made through ACH (checking/savings) or Debit Card*, or Credit Card. Each child’s account will be updated in real time, so account balance information will be current daily.
The lunches are $8.50/day and must be ordered in monthly blocks.
To take advantage of this service, you will need to create a parent account. This requires you to:
- Go to www.myschoolaccount.com.
- Click “Create Account” on the top menu bar.
- Fill in the required information on the “Parent Account Sign-Up page.”
- Select MD for the state (The caterer is based in MD).
- Create a User ID and Password (this is the family id and password)
- Choose Three Brothers Italian Restaurant from the “School District” drop down menu.
- Click the “Accept” box, and then click “Signup.” An email will be sent to your email address that will contain a “verification code”.
After you receive the “verification code” you may begin to add your children’s information. To do this, you will need to:
1. Go to www.myschoolaccount.com and login using your previously created user ID and password.
- Enter the “verification code” to verify your account and email address.
- Go To Manage Student and click Add Student. Enter your son’s Lunch Student ID. Your son’s Lunch Student ID should have been sent to you by email recently. However, if there has been an error or you can’t find that email, contact Mark Commins (mcommins@saintanselms.org) or Maria Vo (dvo@saintanselms.org) and we will send your son’s Lunch Student ID to you as soon as possible.
- After the students are added you will be able to make payments to the student account(s) and view transaction history.
Notes:
- Once money is put on the account, you must click on the “PreOrder” button and actually purchase a monthly block of lunches, or your son’s name will not appear on the list to receive lunch.
- Highlight (for example) from August 25th to September 11th and you will see the option to purchase the “August/September” meal plan appear to the right. The month block is associated with a day (for example, this month/block the day might be September 10th) but it is easiest to find this out by highlighting a range of days.
- A parent account can be linked to many children, but a child can only be linked to one parent.
- There will be a per transaction convenience fee of $2.00 at check out for Checking/Savings and 4.75% for credit/debit. These convenience fees are only associated to financial deposits and not necessarily purchases.
- Any money that is not spent by the end of the school year will be available the following school year.
- At lunch time in the School, if a student does not appear on the list provided to the School by MySchoolAccount.com, the School may refuse to provide lunch. We try to provide a few days of grace but your son will be told they need to sign up or they will not continue to receive a lunch.
- You may contact Mark Commins (mcommins@saintanselms.org) or Maria Vo (dvo@saintanselms.org) with problems and we will try to resolve them quickly.
Hot Lunch and Allergy Concerns
The hot lunch offered through the school is provided by Three Brothers and cooked off-site. The school is unable to guaranty that the lunches are allergen free for every student who has signed up for the lunch.
When asked, the school will do its best to coordinate between the family and Three Brothers to answer questions about allergens in the food and to make accommodations when possible.
However, we must ultimately leave it up to parents and guardians to confirm that the lunch is acceptable for their son.
