jmc Office simplifies lunch account management by using lunch contacts for students, but setting them up one by one can be time-consuming. Instead, quickly initialize lunch contacts for all students at once by clicking the "Create Lunch Contact" button. This automatically generates a family lunch contact for any student who doesn’t have one, based on their primary contact information.

To assign a lunch contact for all your students at one time, go to Lunch > Data Setup > Initialize Family Lunch Accounts in jmc Office.

Step One: Click the "Create Lunch Contacts" button to assign a lunch contact to students who currently do not have one.

Fun Fact: If a student has multiple primary contacts, the first listed primary contact will be assigned as the lunch contact. If no primary contact is designated, a lunch contact will not be assigned.

Step Two: Click the "OK" button to create lunch contacts or click the "Cancel" button to return to the previous page.

Fun Fact: After completion, a message will appear showing the number of lunch contacts assigned, along with the name of the contact assigned to each student.

Helpful Tip: Repeat this process any time a new student enrolls in your district to generate a lunch contact and streamline family lunch accounts.
