• Time
• Food Item
• Notes (optional)
• Notify parent/guardian (optional)

• Staff

  1. Click Activities in the left sidebar.

Roles & Access

Whether you can log meals depends entirely on the custom role assigned to you:

• Roles with Create permission for Activities can log meal entries.
• Roles with View permission can see the Activities feed and meal history.
• Classroom and child visibility follows the role's permissions and the user's classroom assignments.

How to log a meal

When the Log Meal window opens:

1. Classroom

   • Select the classroom.
   • Admins: can choose from all available classrooms.
   • Other roles typically see only their assigned classroom (or assigned children).

2. Student

   • Select the child.
   • If the list is empty, select a classroom first.

3. Meal Type

   • Choose the meal type (for example: breakfast, lunch, or dinner).

4. Time

   • Enter the time the meal was given.

5. Food Item

   • Enter what the child ate (for example: “pasta”, “fruit”, or “sandwich”).

6. Notes (optional)

   • Add any details you want to keep on record.

7. Notify parent/guardian (optional)

   • Turn this on if you want the parent/guardian to be notified.

8. Click Save.

Tips

• Use the same naming style for Food Item across your team (it makes activity history easier to scan).
• If you don’t see the right classroom, ask an admin to confirm your classroom assignment.
