Cashless Catering
We are introducing a cashless payment system with Online Payments using IRIS ParentMail. You can use Online Payments to pay for school lunches, school educational visits, textbooks/revision guides you may wish to purchase and other items using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
With Online Payments you can:
Top up your daughter’s lunch money account electronically using credit or debit cards, PayPal, or PayPoint.
Receive automatic reminders when your daughter’s lunch money account balance is running low.
If you have an Android or Apple smartphone, we recommend you download the free IRIS ParentMail App so you can make payments on the go. Just search for IRIS ParentMail in your App store.
We would like you to logon to ParentMail and deposit some money on the account for your child before half term holidays.
In order to ensure a smooth transition to cashless catering, each year will move to cashless catering as per the schedule below:
- Monday 1st November: Year 10
- Monday 8th November: Years 9 & 11
- Monday 15th November: Years 7 & 8
You will need to be registered with IRIS ParentMail and have lunch money deposited beforehand to enable your daughter to pay for school lunches. If your daughter receives free school meals she will receive a daily allowance to enable her to obtain her lunch using the same cashless system.
Your bank statement will display either the school name or IRIS ParentMail, depending on your payment method. If you need any additional information or assistance, please visit our help centre www.parentmail.co.uk/help/parenthelp/
Please see the ‘Parent Welcome Pack’ here which will guide you to logging on to your account and resetting passwords.
Those parents/carers who have logged on/downloaded ParentMail in the past please make sure you are still able to login. If you have forgotten your password the attached pack will guide you on how to reset this.
For those parents/carers who have never used ParentMail, you will have received an email with your registration link on Friday 24th September 2021. Please follow the attached guide to help get you started.
If you have not received the email from ParentMail on Friday please check your Spam/Junk folder in your email. Note this email will only be for new registrations not existing users.
If you have not received a registration email and you have checked that it is not in your Spam/Junk mailbox, please email: cashless@plashet.newham.sch.uk with your child’s Full name and form group along with your name and relationship to the child i.e. Mum/Dad with your mobile number. Plashet administrative staff will then check to see if your email address is registered with us and if not update this and resend the verification email.
Any queries should be directed to the School’s Business Manager, Mr S Heys.
