In SCO dinners, the academic year rollover happens automatically on 1716th August (this is when dinner money meal counts are set back to zero and any credits or debits carried forward show as Paid in the Status column). 
Pupil classes, year groups, new starters and leavers are not affected.  You may see a message to this effect when you first start SCO on or after 1716th August.

SCO assumes that any pupils marked as Year 2 in SCO prior to 1716th August will be moving into Year 3 in September. 
If those pupils order meals online for September before 1716th August, they may be prompted to pay for the meals first or they may incur a debt in SCO (depending on the SCO settings).

Schools who have promoted their pupils to their new classes/year groups in SCO prior to 1716th August will only be affected if any parents book meals online before 1716th August.

What can we do to address any issues?

Action is only required if you promoted your Year 1 pupils to Year 2 in SCO prior to 1716th August and your parents order meals online.

If you have promoted your pupils to their new year groups in SCO prior to 1716th August, we recommend that you notify parents that they should not order meals until after that date, if possible.
