Getting There

2. Go to Data Management > Meals & Menus > dbl-click Food Program Status.

Food Program Status

1. Add to or edit the status categories as needed. In most cases you’ll have Free, Reduced, Paid and Not Enrolled.
   1. To edit an existing category just click the line and change the status name as needed.
   2. To add a new status click the top (blank) line and type it in then tap Enter (on your keyboard) until a new blank line appears.
   3. If you are reimbursed for this category (which typically is the case) make sure there is a check mark in the Reimbursable column.
2. Use the Up & Down arrows to change their order as needed then click Save > Exit.
   Age Groups: If you’re a System Supervisor you’ll also want to configure Age Groups used to track meals served. This is done through the Regions & Schools Options screen.

Assign a child the status

• For individual children, select the Food Program reimbursement status (just below the classroom) in the Child Information and Relationships screen.
