Dear Parents & Guardians 

Back to school is an exciting time for students and families, and as the beginning of the school year quickly approaches, we want to extend a warm welcome back to school and back to the café.  Chartwells K12 and Springfield School District are eager to welcome you and your student back to the school café with new flavors, events, food, and wellness education that will surely inspire a healthy and fun 2024-25 school year.

We have made some software changes for the new 24-25 school year.  My School Bucks portal is no longer active.  All student funds that were in My School Bucks have been transferred to the new software – SchoolCafe.  You will need to create a new login to access your student(s) account.  Please go online at SchoolCafe. To set up an account. NOTE:  please make sure to select Springfield School District, not Springfield Township School District.

Below you will find important information regarding the Food Service Department. 

National School Lunch Program applications are completed online: SchoolCafe. Parents can apply for free/reduced lunches for their children to ensure healthy nutrition and enriched learning.  The application must be completed each year for renewal.

Menus are displayed on Nutrislice which provides menu descriptions, photos, and nutrition and allergy information. Download the Nutrislice App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to view it on your smartphone. The Nutrislice link is located on the district website.

A computerized debit system in the cafeteria that allows students to purchase meals or snacks with a PIN number. Please review and teach your child this PIN #. All students have an account that parents may put money into through SchoolCafe. or by sending a check with their child to school.  Make the check out to “Springfield SD” and put the child’s name and PIN# in the memo section. Students still can purchase items with cash.  It also allows parents to view their child’s lunch account to check their balance or view what they are purchasing.  Allergens can also be placed on your child’s account if needed.

Please reach out to me Michael Byrne or 610-938-6023 with any questions.
 
Best Regards,
