Good Morning,



We wanted to send a quick email about the dates for implementation of our point of service system (PrimeroEdge) in the cafeteria. Initially, your school was scheduled for a “Go Live” date of February 13th, but as we mentioned in the Principals meeting we had to push that date back to work through some integration issues. Now that those issues have been resolved, we will be going live with the point of service system for our pilot group of schools on Wednesday, March 1st, with everyone else following on March 21st.



As part of this upgrade, Nutrition Services will be using a new payment portal called SchoolCafe, replacing PayPams. Nutrition Services will be transferring all account balances as of the day before implementation from PayPams to SchoolCafe for each student and staff member with a current PayPams account. All PIN numbers will remain the same in the new system. Due to the change in systems, we will be shutting down PayPams on Friday, February 24th at 3:00 p.m. For those schools not in the pilot group, this will lead to a small downtime between when PayPams closes and when SchoolCafe can be used. During this time, schools who are not in the pilot group will only be able to sell A La Carte items using cash.



What action do parents need to take?

Parents will need to create a new SchoolCafe account to manage funds for purchasing meals and A La Carte items, reset any automatic deposits, and manage any restrictions they would like to place on their student’s purchasing authorizations. SchoolCafe (by Cybersoft PrimeroEdge) is available as a mobile app on both Apple and Android devices. In addition to managing meal accounts, parents will also use this app to apply for free and reduced price meals.



Please reach out if you have any questions.



Thank you,



Christie
