MIS
Overview
This article outlines how teachers can record or update pupils' school meal choices at the start of each day while taking the register.
When the attendance register loads, pupils' meal choices are either pre-filled based on a default meal plan (if configured) or empty (displayed as Choose):
- If meal choices are pre-filled, during registration, ask pupils if their choice has changed, and update as needed.
- If meal choices are empty, ask pupils to say their choice when their name is called when you take the register.
After saving the register, pupils’ meal choices will be available for office and kitchen staff to view.
As a teacher, when recording school meals, do not project the register, as pupils may see any notes you've made.
