It has been a great success here at Our Lady of the Missions. Pupils are reporting reduced queuing times and catering staff have noted a significant increase in the uptake of school meals.<br \/>\nYour child has been allocated an identification number (pin) and you will also need to know your child\u2019s Scottish Candidate Number (SCN). These numbers are given below.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Making Payments<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>We would like to take this opportunity to explain the methods of payment.<br \/>\nPupils can bring a desired amount of lunch or tuck money to school and pay this into the Revaluation Machine.\u00a0 This can be paid daily or can be a pre-payment of your choice. It is often more advantageous for your child to have their account preloaded with a larger amount as the credit can then last them for a longer period of time\u00a0 If sending cash to be loaded the machine can only accept 10p, 20p, 50p, \u00a31 coins, \u00a32 coins or notes. <strong>The machine does not accept 5p coins or bronze.<br \/>\n<\/strong>When making an online payment the number to be used is the 8 or 9 digit number e.g. 13578492 (do not prefix it with SCN: number only). Please remember to include your child\u2019s name when making an online payment. Our preferred method of payment is online.<br \/>\nThe 4 digit pin number is used when the pupils are paying cash into the Revaluation Machine outside the office. We have a record in the office of every child\u2019s PIN number.<br \/>\nChildren can check their balance at the Revaluation Machine using PIN number<br \/>\n\u00a0If your child is absent the money will still be kept on the system, they will not lose their money.<br \/>\nParents\/Carers can make payment on line via the Payment4Schools system.\u00a0 This can found on ERC home page \u201cOnline Services\u201d or via the link on the school website.\u00a0 If you do not have access to a computer to make online payments, Customer First at ERC Headquarters can help \u2013 577 3008.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Free School Meals<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>Pupils receiving free school meals will be automatically allocated \u00a31.95 per day for their lunch.\u00a0 This will be added onto the system at 11am each day. Should your child be absent from school their \u00a31.95 free meal allocation will be removed from the system.\u00a0 This means your child cannot build up their free meal allocation during a period of absence. This free meal allocation does not apply to tuck shop.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Lost Lunch Money<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>Credit of \u00a31.95 will be given if a child has lost or forgets money.\u00a0 The school office staff will issue a \u201cvirtual voucher\u201d for \u00a31.95. This must be paid back into your child\u2019s account via the web or the machine as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0East Renfrewshire Council has recently introduced a cashless lunch system.
