There are some important tasks you will need to consider before the new school year begins. Please refrain from using the program while the CNYRIC is getting your database ready for the new school year. We will notify you once we have completed the Start of Year Tasks.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please DO NOT conduct your new school year's Direct Certification process, until we have notified you that your start of year work is completed!
Your goal is to ensure data in your system is accurate and ready to go for the year! To accomplish that, we suggest you review the accuracy of the following site sections and reports. Correct any errors you discover!
Menu Product Detail Report. Verify all pricing and configuration of your ala carte and meal items!
POS Menus to ensure all menu boards are correct and ready to be used by your cashiers!
Provide the CNYRIC with a copy of your Approved School Food Authority (SFA) Renewal Form. [Includes a list of sites, CEP/Prov2 status, other program participation, attendance factors, etc.]
Don't forget to set MySchoolBucks.com so that it is collecting payments!
Don't forget to add any new adults who might be served at your points of sale. Instructions are here.
At least one week prior to school starting, place all points of sale where they will be used.
Connect the power and network cables.
Power on the points of sale.
If the computer is connected to the internet, and you are experiencing errors within Mosaic or hardware issues, please contact us right away.
Devices may need Windows or Mosaic updates. Launch the Mosaic point of sale software and allow that to update. Leave the device on for at least an hour so that any needed Windows updates are applied (as per the rules of your Instructional Technology team).
DO NOT start a meal session. It will add an extra day to your school year.
If you would like to place your POS into training mode for practice prior to the start of year follow these steps.
