New Online Cafeteria Payment System

Baldwin-Whitehall School District and MealTime Online are excited to announce our new online account payment system. This system will allow you to make secure online payments into your student’s cafeteria account, view all transactions, and their account balance.

If you have any questions regarding this new MealTime Online system, please call the MealTime Hotline at 412-885-7900 mailbox 7600. OPTION A – CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS WITH 4.9% FEE The MealTime Online payment website uses the most up-to-date security components available in the banking industry. All data transmitted is encrypted and authenticated every time you use the website. Your credit card information is only used to process your deposit. It is never stored on any website computers. For each deposit you make you will receive a receipt to print out and an email to verify the deposit. You will be charged a 4.9% fee for each credit card deposit.

OPTION B –NO COST If you chose not to use a credit card, you are still able to deposit money into your student’s account by sending a check or cash to the school and can still create an account in MealTime Online at no cost that will enable you to check your student’s Point Of Sale balance and monitor the items. MealTime Online offers the following features at no cost to our parents:

1. Create a free, secured account to manage your students’ accounts

2. Check your student’s current account balance in the Point of Sale System

3. Monitor the items your student has been purchasing in the cafeteria

This new system will allow our district to reduce the time and paperwork required to update student accounts and in-turn, save money. It also allows you to stay better informed regarding your student’s purchases, giving you access to your student’s information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We encourage all parents to create an account at no cost through www.mymealtime.com. To begin using the new system, just create your online account on the website. You will need your student’s ID number to complete the setup for your online account. The ID number can be found on your student’s report card and it is also the same ID number used for PIV. There are two ways to access your online account:

Visit Baldwin-Whitehall School District’s website at www.bwschools.net. A link to MealTime will take you to the online payment website where you can create your account.

Go directly to http://www.mymealtime.com/ to create your account.

Baldwin-Whitehall School District is excited to provide the opportunity for parents to make secure online payments, and allow parents to view their student’s meal transactions. We thank you in advance for your participation in our new program. If you have any questions regarding this new MealTime Online system, please call the MealTime Hotline at 412-885-7900 mailbox 7600.

“Eyes on Education” Action Day

A group of parents and students from the Baldwin-Whitehall School District traveled to the state’ capitol on June 17,2008 to participate in “Eyes on Education, A Student Photo Exhibit & Education Action Day,” put on by Good Schools Pennsylvania. The group consisted of three members of the Baldwin-Whitehall Council of PTAs and their children. Children were especially included in the event so as to present to our legislators the faces of education in the state.

A bill was passed by the House Education Committee, which will create a new school funding formula in Pennsylvania. This formula will address the need for greater equity, accountability and predictability in how public education is funded. The organization Good Schools Pennsylvania planned the day to draw attention to the progress made and the progress yet to be made on this issue. The day included legislative visits, including a meeting between the Baldwin-Whitehall delegation and Senator John Pippy; a demonstration of “Saving - Whoville,” an interactive program which illustrates the importance of adequate funding for schools and students; and a photo exhibit done by students from schools suffering under the current funding system.
