Lunchroom Information
Welcome St. Paul families to the 2023/24 school year. For returning families, the lunch program is exactly the same as last year. You can now begin to pre-order lunches in FACTS and load funds onto your Meal Magic account.
For new families, we have two programs that we utilize in the lunchroom. FACTS & Meal Magic. FACTS is used to pre-order lunches and Meal Magic is for payment. FACTS is the same program you use to view your child's grades.
Your next step will be to set up your FACTS account so you can pre-order lunches.
Please, first follow these steps below and then come back to this page and continue the pre-ordering process in FACTS and setting up your Meal Magic Account.
FACTS SIS (Student information System). The FACTS Family Portal – a private and secure platform that will allow you to see the academic information specific to your children, and pre-order lunches while protecting information from others.
Here’s how to access our Family Portal:
- Go to : https://factsmgt.com and click Parent Login.
- Then select FACTS Family Online
- Type in the School’s District Code: SPL-MI
- Click Create New Family portal Account
- Type in your email address (this email is the same one that we have on file from your registration).
- Click Create Account. An email will be sent to you which includes a link to create your login. This link is active for 6 hours.
- Select the Click to Create your Family Portal Login link.
- A web browser displays your Name and FACTS Person ID. • Type a User Name, Password, and Confirm your password.
For the first couple of weeks we will not be implementing deadline dates for pre-ordering. We would like to give everybody the opportunity to register and get familiar with the program.
We have two options for ordering lunch:
- You can pre-order for your child through the FACTS system. This is the best option for younger kids. If you pre-order for your child and they are absent, you will not be charged for lunch.
********Every Friday we serve Dominos Pizza as our main entree. Pizza must be pre-ordered through the FACTS system. Pizza is not available to order on the à la carte menu*********
- Order each morning in the classroom off the à la carte order form. If you did not get a chance to pre-order and your child still wants hot lunch, they can order lunch and other items each morning from the à la carte order form. The à la carte form will always have the main entree that we are serving that day (except for pizza on Friday) and several other options. You will be billed through the Meal Magic system when your child places an order on the à la carte order form. Please see the attached example of the à la carte order form. The a la carte order form is updated every week. You can view a copy on the school website under the lunch program tab.
FACTS

- Click on Family Login and then FACTS Family Portal
- Enter our district code spl-mi, User Name, Password then login

All pre-ordered lunches include a choice of white or chocolate milk, a fruit and a vegetable.When ordering an extra main entree item you must also order the main entree. Once you have entered your choices, you will scroll to the bottom left and select Order Items. If you have multiple children, you will do this for each child on this same page. Multiple children will be listed one after another on this page. Scroll down to see multiple children.
Note: A la carte items are not a pre-order item. You will order those items in your classroom each morning.
- Once you have placed your order, you will receive a message on the next screen that indicates- Lunch Order Created.
- To review your completed order, you will select Lunch on the left side of the screen. Your lunch choices will then appear on the calendar in blue font. If you are placing your order on your phone, your screen view might be slightly different than your computer view.
Please note: You will not be charged for any lunches in the FACTS system. FACTS is only a pre-ordering system. All lunch charges will be applied to your Meal Magic account on the day your child receives their lunch. All charges will come through the Meal Magic System. Your child will not be charged if they are absent.

Meal Magic is an online account where you check balances, view account history & deposit funds in your child's account to purchase pre-ordered lunches, a la carte items, or snacks.

A la carte items are available to purchase daily.
A la carte is ordered each morning in the classroom. Your child's teacher will ask the kids each morning if they are ordering A la carte and complete one order form for each classroom. The A la carte order form is available for viewing on the school website under the Lunch tab.
Snack items are available for purchase in the lunchroom. Snack items do not need to be
pre-ordered or ordered on the à la carte order form. Your child can walk up to the counter during their lunch period to purchase snacks or drinks. Prices range from $0.50 - $ 1.50. Chocolate milk, white milk($.50)and water bottles($1.00) are also available everyday for purchase.
Snack items include chips, pretzels, popcorn, muffins, rice krispie treats and fruit snacks. Items vary based on availability.
