We hope you are getting back into the swing of the new school year! If you haven't done so already, now is a great time to make sure you have signed up for a SchoolCafe account, which is our new meal software system we started using in January! With a SchoolCafe account, you can easily view your students' school menus, add money to their accounts (which allows them to purchase items in addition to the free breakfast and lunch they receive as part of Healthy School Meals for All), view their account history, set purchasing limits, and this is also the easiest way to fill out the Benefits Form! We encourage all families to fill out a benefits form each year because, even though meals are free, the information collected in these forms may qualify your student for additional benefits such as waived school fees, reduced priced internet, etc. The information collected also helps with the funding for our Nutrition program, so we are able to continue to provide fresh, exciting choices for our students each and every day! Signing up for SchoolCafe is easy! For more information on how to get signed up, please visit our SchoolCafe page linked here. For more information on filling out the Benefits Form, please visit our School Benefits Applications page linked here.

Starting December 26, 2023, Nutrition Services will be transitioning from LINQ Connect to SchoolCafe as the new point-of-sale system for the remainder of the 2023–2024 school year; however, menus will continue to be available on LINQ Connect. While you will be able to create an account and link it to your student, some information will not transfer to the new system (like account balances) until the start of the new semester. Here are a few essential points to note about the point-of-sale platform transition: Transfer of Student Files: Your student's file will be transferred from LINQ Connect to SchoolCafe on December 26, 2023. This transfer includes account balances, ensuring a seamless transition. Student Balances: Rest assured, all student balances will be transferred to SchoolCafe. You will retain your existing balance without any loss or disruption. Action Required: After December 26, you will need to create an account with SchoolCafe. You will need your student ID for this step. If you do not know your student ID, it can be found in Infinite Campus. Verify your account balance and review and confirm your account preferences. If you do not set up an account with SchoolCafe, you will not be able to add money to your child’s account or get notifications. Check out a video walkthrough on how to add money to your child’s account and how to apply for free and reduced price meal benefits. Menu Platform: While the point-of-sale system is changing to SchoolCafe, our menu platform will continue to be available through LINQ Connect for the remainder of this school year. For now, families will need to use both apps. Learn more in the LPS Newsroom.

Good afternoon LPS Families, Please be sure to check the portal as we have made many stop changes across the district to make our routes more efficient and timely. This work also reduced our need for drivers by eliminating 4 GenEd routes. In light of our shortage, this was necessary work to ensure we could provide our families with a safe, consistent, and reliable ride to school. At this time, we have all of our routes covered and do not anticipate running a late schedule like we did last year. But with that being said, please be aware that our staffing changes often and there still may be days that we must cancel a route the day of if we receive an unexpected number of callouts. Unfortunately, if we find ourselves in this situation, we will not be providing second runs this year as we did last year. So please prepare your families with a backup plan if this does happen. If we find ourselves in a situation similar to last year, we will do our best to provide our families with as much notice as possible to prepare and plan. We will continue the persistent work of staffing to avoid this, but I do want you prepared with a backup plan, just in case. I will be sending out a quarterly newsletter this school year and will go into more detail regarding the stop changes we made and the efficiency study we did. I just wanted to be sure to get this message out sooner than later so you have this very important stop information to get your students off to a great start! Sincerely, Marcy Phelps Director of Transportation Services (phone) 303-347-4785 Buenas tardes familias de LPS, Por favor asegúrense de revisar el portal debido a que hemos hecho muchos cambios de paradas por todo el distrito, para asegurarnos que nuestras rutas sean más eficientes y puntuales. Este trabajo también redujo nuestra necesidad de conductores a eliminar 4 rutas GenEd. Este fue trabajo necesario dada nuestra escasez, para asegurarnos que nosotros pudiéramos proveerles a nuestras familias un transporte a la escuela seguro, consistente y confiable. En este momento tenemos todas nuestras rutas cubiertas y no anticipamos en tener un horario de retraso como lo tuvimos el año pasado. Dicho esto, tenga en cuenta que nuestro personal cambia a menudo y que puede haber días en los que tengamos que cancelar una ruta si recibimos un número inesperado de cancelaciones de conductores. Desafortunadamente, este año no ofreceremos segundas pasadas como el año pasado si nos encontramos en esta situación. Por favor preparen a su familia con un plan de respaldo si esto llega a suceder. Nosotros haremos lo mejor posible en darle a nuestras familias aviso suficiente para que puedan planear y prepararse si nos encontramos en una situación similar a la del año pasado. Seguiremos con el persistente trabajo de contratación de personal para evitarlo. Pero quiero que estén preparados con un plan de respaldo, por si acaso. Este año escolar yo estaré mandando un boletín informativo cada trimestre y daré más información sobre los cambios de las paradas que hemos hecho y el estudio de eficiencia que realizamos. ¡Solo quería asegurarme de mandar este mensaje los más pronto posible para que dispongan de esta información importante sobre las paradas para que sus estudiantes tengan un buen comienzo! Atentamente, Marcy Phelps Director of Transportation Services (phone) 303-347-4785
