Cashless Dining at Dwight-Englewood School
We are pleased to inform you about a cashless payment option for purchasing food in the COOP. This option means that students do not have to bring cash to school each day, and instead, will be able to pay using just their last name. We have contracted with My Kids Spending and the directions for how to sign up are listed below.
When you set up the account, you will be able to select a minimum balance threshold for automatic replenishment. Once the balance drops below your threshold, the system will automatically fund the account with the amount you set ($50 minimum). You will receive an email notification of this transaction. In addition, you will be able to see how the money is being spent, not just by amount, but by what the student is buying, as well. There is no limit as to how many times a student uses the card in one day—all that is needed is a sufficient balance to afford the purchases.
Please note that we will still be taking cash for purchases. The COOP accepts cash and checks at the register to fund the student account also. Checks should be made out to Cater To You. There is no fee for account funding at the register.

Note: there is a 4% convenience fee for using credit cards. For payment by e-check, there is a service charge of $.75 plus 1% of the total deposit amount.
Each participating student will use their regular Loyola ID to make purchases in the school cafeteria.
If you wish to change your email and/or password at any time, you may do so by selecting the link on the website.
Participating families may view their account balances online at any time and will automatically receive monthly balance statements via email.
With Auto-Replenish, you can set your checking account to automatically debit a certain amount when funds reach a certain account balance.
End of year remaining balances will be rolled over to the next school year.
