This page is designed to help schools configure a one day special menu, such as Christmas lunch, with descriptions and meal images.
The special menu can be viewed in the classrooms using Classroom Edition, as well as to parents ordering meals online through their scopay.com account.
Ensure you use your existing meal codes to set up the special menu - there is no need to add an extra meal code.
