Online Hot Lunch Ordering for May/June  2008 is available now!!

Please read this notice carefully and in its entirety – it contains a some new information for our hot lunch online ordering program.

The ordering system for the May/June 2008 cycle will be available from now until 10:00 pm Monday, April 28th – after which time absolutely no orders will be accepted.

The system will no longer be accessible after that time.

With the holiday season, please make your hot lunch selections now rather than leaving it to the last minute – we will not be able to make additions after the deadline.

All hot lunch payments must be received by Tuesday, April 29th or your child’s name will be taken off of the hot lunch list – no exceptions can be made.

Please make sure when entering your child’s lunch to select a grade to insure that they are on the correct list.  If you need to change an order, please use your access codes.  If you enter multiple orders, you run the risk of the wrong one being deleted and your child not receiving the lunch that you ultimately intended.

Hot lunch will now be ordered online only!  If you do not own a computer and want to order hot lunch, please contact Carol Palma at 973-882-6506 immediately.  Please read through the following directions and then go to www.montville.net to get started.  Once on Montville.net, you need to click on Woodmont School, then PTA and then the hot lunch link.  An order form will appear when you click on the link on the bottom of the hot lunch page on the PTA website. The directions listed below are also on the website.

1. Enter your child’s NAME AND GRADE at the top of the page where indicated.  You do not need an access code to enter an order.  Also, please remember to enter your child’s last name first.  If you do not, your child’s name will not appear in the correct place on the grade lists.  If your last name contains an apostrophe (‘), please do not use it.   Other schools using this program, have found that using the apostrophe messes up the child’s order.

2. Important Notice to Kindergarten Parents:  Since we serve kindergarten lunches at their tables, we needed to give each kindergarten class a distinct designation as follows:

Mrs. Jarvie’s class – K1

Mrs. Santiago’s class – K2

Mrs. Siano’s class – K3

          Kindergarten parents, you will use these designations where you need to

indicate your child’s grade level on the order form.

3. Click on your menu choices for the month and hit submit at the bottom.  It may take up to 2 minutes for your order to process once you hit submit order.  Please be PATIENT and do NOT press submit more than once.

4. When your order has been processed, you will be taken to the next page which shows your order and has directions on how to pay.  You will have 2 choices.  You can pay by credit card or you can send a check made out to “Woodmont School PTA” in through your child’s backpack.  If you are paying by credit card, there is a service fee.  On the payment page there is a PRINT TICKET button at the bottom of the page.  Hit print tickets and you now have your child’s tickets.  You will cut these tickets just as you have in the past. .  Also, you may write one check for all of your children. (Please watch calculating your totals.)  If you do not have a printer, please send an e-mail to palmamj@aol.com or call Carol Palma at 973-882-6506.

**If paying by check (thru the backpacks), we must have your check before hot lunch starts.  Even though you have your tickets, if we don’t have your payment, your children will be flagged on the master list and will not receive lunch.  All parents will be notified 48 hours and then again 24 hours prior to the new hot lunch cycle if their hot lunch payment has not been received.**

5. To make any changes to your order:  You will also notice in the top right corner you have been assigned an access code for your order.  You can use this code to change your order or if you need to reprint your tickets.  You can only modify your order prior to our receiving payment and prior to the close of the ordering period.  If you have paid for your order and need to change your order before the close of the cycle, please contact Carol Palma.  No changes may be made after the close of the cycle.

When making changes:  Just enter your access code and click “go.”  Please do NOT retype your child’s name and hit view hot lunch; this action will result in two orders being processed. 

6. Once the hot lunch ordering deadline has passed - hot lunch is closed!  There can be no late orders.  Remember - Ordering can be done 24/7!
