Who selects which option the students eat?

PK3 students will only have one lunch option available each day since they eat their lunch in their classrooms.  The one option available for them will be noted on the menu each month.

PK4 & Kindergarten students will make their selection in the morning in the classroom.  They will get to select from the two hot options or the sandwich option.  The students will select what they want and the teachers will record their selections.

1st - 7th grade students will make their selection in the cafeteria each day.  They can select any of the options available to them. They do not need to pre-select in homeroom anymore.

The salad bar will consist of items such as assorted greens, carrots, tomatoes, crutons, eggs, cucumber, olives, broccoli, and onions.  Ranch, Italian, and Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette dressings will be available.

How does my student pay for lunch?

Pigeon's uses myschoolbucks.com for payment. Parents should put money into a myschoolbucks account. Any student who has an account created from a prior year should do the following:

1. Select the School District. This is an option on the top right of the screen. The district should be changed to Pigeon Caterers. This may be done by clicking on the school district and using the drop down box, select add another school district. At that point the customer should select Louisiana under state and Pigeon Catering Inc. as the school district.
2. Adding Students. On the upper right hand side you should see your account name along with a person icon. Once you click on the icon, a drop down box will appear. The user should then click on the My Students selection. Once on the My Students section the user should click on Add Student. On the Add Student screen the parent will be able to choose the school (St. Catherine of Siena). The parent will also be able to put their child’s first and last name. To validate the student the parent may enter the child’s cafeteria number. (See below to obtain cafeteria number) Once that is entered the program will find the student. The next screen allows you to add the student to the account. After this step is complete, parents will be able to add a student to the account and may put funds in my school bucks.    

How do I find my student's cafeteria number?

All new and returning student cafeteria numbers are listed on the password protected class roster page on the school website (under the parents tab).  Once on the class roster page, click the file entitled "CAFETERIA NUMBERS".  Do not use the ID number on the class roster.  That is a different number used in attendance program which is different from the cafeteria system.  If for some reason your students number was inadvertently changed from last year, please contact Robert Pigeon (rpigeon@pigeoncaterers.com) to have it changed back. The password was emailed out to all current parents.  If you did not receive it or lost it, contact the school office. 

Can I add money to my student's account using a check?

Yes, you can pay with a check (payable to "Pigeon's Catering") and bring it to the cafeteria.  

How do visiting adult guests pay for lunch?

The cafeteria is completely cashless. If a parent or grandparent visits a student and wants to each in the cafeteria, they pay for their lunch by using the student's account.  There is not a way to pay with cash.
